They are still used heavily for AED payments - they can't any longer onboard you with UAE Residence or any UAE Company however they still use the NUQUD LTD. entity for local AED payouts in this way you send with Wise to a local UAE Bank Accounts AED in 1-12 hours and it appears as a local AED payment as Wise pays it out through NUQUD LTD. which holds an Bank Account at ENBD. With Revolut which is using Barclays︀ for AED payments it takes 3-5 Business Days for example.
Of course NUQUD LTD is︁ fined and not the underlaying ENBD as a GoV Bank - always funny to see︂ how innovative international Fintechs are fined and bashed through the Media while when local GoV︃ Banks gets fined no Bank Names are mentioned.
