As one of the older exchange houses in the UAE, Al Fardan established its business on the back of high demands by foreign workers and expats for remittance services in the UAE when the banking system didn't exist in the UAE. This has become its bread and butter with international tie-ups to over 120 foreign banks that currently enable Al Fardan to transact with multiple countries across the world. This also supplanted the company's other financial services which include currency exchange.

All the offices and branches of Al Fardan Exchange are connected through a modern network with highly advanced servers located in the Dubai office. The group originated in the neighbouring emirate of Sharjah where its head office is located. However, it services the wider UAE market with branches installed in primary locations.
