The Good Stuff
WPS guidance
A review credits the branch with explaining WPS account opening and transfers to Bangladesh.
Helpful staff
Several customers describe the staff as accommodating, helpful and experienced.
Fair rates
One customer found the exchange rates fair compared with other exchanges.
Fast service
At least one visit was described as both helpful and fast.
Tips for a Better Visit
Allow time. Build in extra time: one visit took 25 minutes for just two customers, with another wait after a counter closed.
Confirm documents. For payment collection, confirm supporting-document requirements first; a reference number and EID may not be enough.
Ask about WPS. If opening a WPS account, ask staff to explain the steps before starting the transfer.
Check counters. Before relying on a quick visit, check that counters are operating; one customer found most marked closed.

The Bottom Line
Al Ansari Exchange at Union Coop Society Al Aweer Branch is a practical stop in Ras Al Khor for sending money and exchanging currency. Customers also mention help opening a WPS account and transferring money to Bangladesh, so it serves more than a straightforward exchange visit. The strongest pattern in the reviews is staff helpfulness when the interaction goes well.
Customers describe accommodating service, clear guidance on remittance and foreign exchange, and assistance that made transactions feel smooth. Fair rates compared with other exchanges are mentioned too, although this is a customer report rather than a current quote. The main caution is consistency.
One customer said five branch visits were needed for a salary deposit and described the staff as unprofessional. Another reported waiting 25 minutes while only two customers were served, then being moved after a counter closed and waiting another 15–20 minutes. A separate visit found most counters marked closed and the AC not working during hot weather.
If you are collecting a payment, confirm whether supporting documents are required before going; one review says a reference number and EID were not enough. For WPS or salary-related work, allow extra time and ask staff to explain the steps before completing the transaction.
