Send money to the UAE
Fund a Peanut Link and share it. Your recipient claims digital dollars in Peanut after one side completes identity verification.
Peanut gives you a direct way to send digital dollars to someone in the UAE. You fund your Peanut balance through an option available in your account, create a funded Peanut Link, and share it with the recipient.
The recipient opens the Link and claims the full amount into Peanut. One side of the Link must complete identity verification. The recipient does not need an existing Peanut account before opening it.
How to send money to the UAE
- 1
Fund your Peanut balance
Choose a funding option shown in your account. Use the exact currency, network, address, and minimum displayed before you send.
- 2
Create a funded Link
Choose Create Link, enter the amount, and confirm. Peanut takes the amount from your digital-dollar balance.
- 3
Share the Link
Send the unique Link to your recipient through a private channel. The sender can reclaim it until someone claims it.
- 4
Claim the digital dollars
The recipient opens the Link and claims the full amount into Peanut. One side completes identity verification.
What the recipient gets in the UAE
Local payments in the UAE include UAEFTS. A Peanut Link does not currently pay through UAEFTS or convert a claim into AED. The recipient gets digital dollars in Peanut.
This page does not route money to a local bank account or local payment app. The recipient can hold the digital-dollar balance or withdraw it to a compatible wallet by using an option shown in Peanut.
Use the correct currency and network
For a wallet withdrawal, the recipient must choose a currency and network supported by both Peanut and the destination wallet:
- USDC: Solana, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, or Ethereum.
- USDT: Solana, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Ethereum, or Tron.
Tron supports USDT only. The recipient should copy the address from the destination wallet and select the same network in Peanut. A wrong currency, address, or network can cause a permanent loss. The app's withdrawal screen is the current source for availability, minimums, and the amount the wallet will receive.
Costs and timing
Peanut does not charge to create a Link or claim it into a Peanut balance. The sender's bank, wallet, or exchange may charge to fund the balance. If the recipient later withdraws, Peanut shows the amount and any delivery cost before confirmation.
Withdrawals on Ethereum, Tron, and Solana include a network delivery cost. Peanut covers gas on other supported withdrawal networks. Availability and minimums can change, so review the current quote in the app instead of relying on an old amount.
A funded Link claimed into Peanut appears immediately in the recipient's balance. This timing does not include the sender's funding step or a later wallet withdrawal, which depend on the selected route and network.
FAQ
Does the recipient need a Peanut account before I send?
No. You create and fund the Link first. The recipient opens it and can create or sign in to an account to claim the digital dollars.
Who completes identity verification?
One side must be verified. If the sender is verified, the recipient can claim without completing a second verification. If the sender is not verified, the recipient must verify.
Can the recipient receive AED or a local bank deposit?
No. This route delivers digital dollars into Peanut. It does not pay out AED or deliver to a local bank in the UAE.
How long does the transfer take?
The in-Peanut claim is immediate after the Link is funded. Funding and later wallet withdrawals have separate processing times.
How much does it cost?
Creating and claiming the Link into Peanut carries no Peanut fee. Funding providers may charge, and Ethereum, Tron, or Solana withdrawals have delivery costs shown before confirmation.
Create a funded Peanut Link and let your recipient claim digital dollars in Peanut.
