Send money to India from Saudi Arabia, receive salary in Grey, deliver INR in minutes

More than 3 million Indian workers live in Saudi Arabia, concentrated in construction, hospitality, healthcare, IT, and retail. The monthly remittance home is a fixed obligation: household expenses for parents in Chennai or Bangalore, the EMI on a flat in Hyderabad, school fees for a sibling in Pune.

Money lands in your Grey USD account from your employer. You convert to INR and send to SBI, HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, or a UPI wallet. The rupees arrive within minutes. No Grey account required for the recipient. A UPI transfer lands in the recipient's Google Pay or PhonePe wallet instantly.

The exchange rate matters more than the visible fee on this corridor. On a USD 1,000 transfer, a 1% difference in the USD-to-INR rate changes the rupee amount your family receives by approximately 85 rupees. Grey shows the rate before you confirm.

How the USD to INR rate works

The USD-to-INR rate is set by the forex market and fluctuates during the day. Grey applies a rate close to mid-market, shown in the app before confirmation.

For UPI delivery, the INR credit appears immediately in the recipient's wallet.
