Al Rostamani International Exchange’s SWIFT code is TCARAEAD, or TCARAEADXXX in 11 characters. It doesn’t contain “ARIE” or “ROST”, which is why searching a bank’s code list for Al Rostamani often turns up nothing.

Reading TCARAEAD
- TCAR: the institution code registered for Al Rostamani International Exchange
- AE: United Arab Emirates
- AD: the location code
- XXX: head office, so TCARAEAD and TCARAEADXXX are the same destination
The SWIFT registry lists only this head office code for Al Rostamani, with no branch codes.
When the code is the right detail
Al Rostamani International Exchange, set up in 1979, offers international money transfers, foreign exchange, WPS and payroll services, trade payments and wholesale banknotes. TCARAEAD matters mostly on the business side, for example where a company settles trade payments or payroll funding through the exchange house.
For a personal payment, it’s rarely the detail a sender abroad needs:
- You have a UAE bank account: give the sender your bank’s SWIFT code and IBAN.
- You’re paid through Al Rostamani’s WPS payroll card: your salary comes from your employer through WPS, not by SWIFT from overseas.
- You need cash from abroad: the sender’s remittance provider gives a pickup reference for an Al Rostamani branch, if it pays out through Al Rostamani.
Before you give out TCARAEAD
- Call 600 54 0004 and ask whether Al Rostamani will accept the incoming payment.
- Get the exact beneficiary name and reference it wants on the payment.
- Use the branch locator to pick a branch if you have to collect in person.
- Keep the sender’s payment confirmation until the money is with you.
A payment sent to the code without that agreement can sit unapplied or come back, with charges taken along the way.
