When writing a UAE cheque you spell out the amount in words on the words line in addition to the figures. This tool converts any dirhams-and-fils figure into the exact wording UAE banks expect — prefixed with “AED”, grouped in the Western thousand/million/billion system, and ending with “Only” so the amount cannot be altered.
How it works
The integer part is converted using the Western numbering system, grouped by thousand, million and billion, with “and” inserted before the tens within a hundred. The major unit is the dirham and the minor unit is fils (1 dirham = 100 fils), spelled out separately. The line is title-cased while the “AED” prefix is kept in capitals, and it is terminated with “Only”.
Example
Enter 100000.50:
AED One Hundred Thousand Dirhams And Fifty Fils Only
| Figures | Words |
|---|---|
| AED 5,000 | AED Five Thousand Dirhams Only |
| AED 100,000.50 | AED One Hundred Thousand Dirhams And Fifty Fils Only |
| AED 1 | AED One Dirham Only |
