Redha Al Ansari Exchange - Rashidiya

Redha Al Ansari Exchange in Al Rashidiya is a practical stop for overseas money transfers and foreign currency exchange. Customers often mention getting a high or “best” rate, and several say transfers to their bank accounts were smooth, fast and accurate. The branch also handles Western Union collections, although that service has one clear warning in the reviews: a customer needed 30 minutes when staff were dealing with two customers at once.

The human side is a major reason repeat customers keep returning. Reviews describe the team as kind, polite and helpful, with one regular customer saying they had used the exchange for more than five years. Another described a friendly, almost friendship-like atmosphere while sending money.

That said, the experience is not perfectly consistent. One customer waited while the staff member responsible for exchange was reportedly away and eventually left without completing a larger transaction. For a first visit, ask about the best available rate before confirming, and leave some time in hand if your transaction involves a specific exchange employee or a Western Union collection.

If the transfer is urgent, check the expected arrival time carefully: one customer was promised two hours but reported that the money had not arrived, while also finding the emergency line unhelpful.
