Sending USD to Saudi Arabia — FAQ
Speed

Cost

Sending USD
Can I send US dollars to a bank account in Saudi Arabia?
Yes, over SWIFT. The fee is 1% + $35.00 on a personal account, 0.5% + $35.00 on business — a payout in Saudi riyals (SAR) costs 1% plus a $1.00 fixed fee instead, so a recipient with an account in Saudi riyals usually pays less. Your recipient’s account must accept US dollars.
