Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is PayMeHere?
  • PayMeHere is a platform that enables UAE residents to access the world’s real estate market to buy their dream home or invest in real estate (directly from Owners, LandlordsReal Estate Brokers and Developers) who are advertising on PayMeHere.
  • The platform includes real estate properties for sale or rent. The platform is not a real estate brokerage and the details of the properties available on the website are provided to us by third-party Owners, Landlords, Real Estate Brokers or Developers.
2. Is PayMeHere facilitating the transactions?
  • No! The platform is not a real estate brokerage nor facilitating any transactions between buyers and sellers. The website is just a platform where sellers advertise their properties and assets for sale or rent, and the buyers are required to conduct their full due diligence in the country where the property is listed, by themselves, a trusted family member or their lawyer.
3. Where are the transactions happening?
  • In the UAE. Check the advertised properties back home or anywhere in the world, contact the seller directly, conduct your due diligence to make sure that everything is legit, and finalize the payment in the UAE to the seller’s UAE local bank account. 
  • There is an option of paying the seller in their local country’s USD/EUR bank account.
4. Who can use PayMeHere?
  • PayMeHere platform is open to be used by anyone, with more focus and reach to the expats living in the UAE.

Example #1: if you are an Egyptian who resides in UAE and wishes to buy an apartment in Cairo. By browsing the ads available on PayMeHere you will be able to discover apartments in Cairo, reach out to sellers directly, and finalize the transaction with them in UAE to their local bank account, or in Egypt to their USD/EUR bank account, if they prefer that.

5. What will I gain as a buyer from paying in the UAE?
  • A special discount from the seller. You will find the market price shown on the Ad, and the discounted price as well. 
  • Saving sums of money in the currency exchange process. 
  • The process is much faster and easier transferring money locally (in the UAE) for both parties.
6. What will I gain as a seller from getting paid in the UAE?
  • Receiving your money in a stable country, with a stable currency and in a robust financial environment. 
  • Mitigating the risks of economic downturns back home like currency devaluation, inflation and extra fees to get your money outside using foreign currency (such as USD). Just use your bank account in the UAE and finalize the payments with the buyer hassle-free (AED to AED transaction). 
  • Use your hard-earned money in the UAE without losing sums in the currency exchange differences or unplanned fees to get your money out of your home country, 
  • In return, you will be required to provide a discount to the buyers to encourage them to finalize the payment in UAE in Emirati Dirhams. Remember; buyers can transfer their money and complete the purchase back home. They need a reason to finalize the payment in the UAE. 
  • Suggestion: Keep a copy of the finalized agreement attested from the UAE embassy, in case your bank contacts you in the future to ask about the source of income.
7. How much does PayMeHere charge?
  • Zero from the buyers. We are a commission-free platform.

A small fixed amount is charged from the sellers for advertising their properties on the platform and using the platform’s robust features.

8. I am not a resident of the UAE and I don’t have a local bank account. Am I still eligible to advertise on the portal?
  • Of course, everyone is welcome! We offer the option of advertising on the portal if you want to finalize the transactions in your USD/ EUR bank account back home, in addition to accepting payments in multiple currencies on the way out.
