How UrPay Calculates SAR to INR Rates

Unlike traditional banks, UrPay uses a digital-first pricing model. They leverage MoneyGram's wholesale rates, which are often 0.2% to 0.5% better than the rates offered by Western Union. When combined with a 13 SAR flat fee, UrPay usually results in more Rupees landing in your Indian bank account.

Step-by-Step: Sending Your First Remittance

  • 1
    Top Up Your Wallet: Open UrPay and click "Add Money." Use any Saudi Mada card to instantly add funds to your wallet.
  • 2
    Add International Beneficiary: Click "International Transfer" and then "Add Beneficiary." Select India and enter the receiver's Bank Account or Cash Pickup details.
  • 3
    Calculate & Confirm: Enter the amount in SAR. UrPay will show you the exact INR amount the receiver will get, including the 13 SAR fee and 15% VAT.
  • 4
    Transfer & Track: Hit send. You will receive a MoneyGram reference number immediately to track the transaction.

Is UrPay Safe?

Yes. UrPay is a financial technology product powered by Al Rajhi Bank, the largest Islamic bank in the world. It is fully licensed by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA), meaning your funds are protected by the same regulations as a traditional bank account.
