converting the money
 
Hi,
I have been working in Dubai for a year but I am moving back to the UK. The AED exchange rate againt the Pound is much lower than what I anticipated before coming here. Would you recommend I convert my savings here before moving back to the UK? Is there a risk to get fraudlent banknotes?If you have any recommendation where to get a good exchange rate, please let me know.
The other option is to take the AED banknotes to convert them in the UK espeically when the exchange rate becomes better.

Cheers

why do you need banknotes ?

Open a currency account (Revolut or Wise) or keep an AED account here until you are ready to exchange.
