Who the code is for
Businesses
Al Ansari’s corporate remittance service covers both directions: paying vendors and partners abroad, and receiving remittances from international corporate clients. Registration is free. A business that wants overseas clients to pay through Al Ansari should register first and get the payment instructions from Al Ansari, rather than handing out ALANAEAA on its own.
Individuals
A personal customer at an exchange house usually sends money rather than receives it by SWIFT. If you’re expecting money from abroad and bank in the UAE, give the payer your bank’s SWIFT code and IBAN. If you only hold an Al Ansari card, such as a PayPlus salary card, salary reaches it through your employer, not through a SWIFT payment from overseas.
