Tips for a Better Visit
Check rates. For a large exchange, compare the app quote with the branch’s offered rate before confirming.
Confirm timing. If sending money, ask when the recipient should receive it and follow up quickly if it is held.
Allow delays. Do not assume flash transfer means instant receipt; one review says it took more than 24 hours.
Check opening. Verify the opening time before travelling, since one customer reported a late opening.
Ask limits. For a sizeable currency exchange, clarify your current limit and reset date before starting the transaction.

The Bottom Line
Al Ansari Exchange’s Century Mall Branch in Al Mamzar is a practical stop for currency exchange, sending money and setting up the WPS salary system. Customers often mention quick counter processing, cooperative treatment and clear explanations, with several reviews describing staff as patient when the WPS process felt long or confusing. The branch is easy to locate inside the mall: one reviewer places it opposite Life Pharmacy, on the left side of Carrefour’s ground-floor entrance.
Reviews also mention fast handling with no queue, although opening later than expected was reported once. There are a few money-transfer cautions. One customer said a payment was held for six days before reaching the recipient, while an older review says a flash transfer took more than 24 hours despite being expected within seconds.
If timing matters, confirm the expected delivery window rather than relying on the transfer label. For a large exchange, check the rate shown in the app against the branch quote before confirming. One customer also raised a 55,000 AED limit and confusion over its reset date.
The overall feedback is strongly positive, but these checks can prevent an unpleasant surprise.
