As a Wio Business customer, you can deposit cash into your AED account at any Lulu Exchange branch across the UAE. You can visit the branch yourself or authorize someone else to deposit on your behalf — and no reference number is needed.
? Cash Deposit Fees, Limits & Rules
- Daily limit: You can deposit up to AED 300,000 per day across all cash deposit channels (Lulu Exchange and FAB machines combined).
- Multiple deposits: You can make more than one deposit per day, as long as the total stays within the daily limit.
- Deposit fee: AED 10.50 per transaction.
- No reference number needed: Unlike FAB machine deposits, you don't need to generate a reference number for Lulu Exchange deposits.
- Accepted currencies: AED banknotes are accepted. For deposits in other currencies, check directly with the Lulu Exchange branch staff.
- Processing time: Cash deposits are credited to your account in real time.
? Need a Higher Daily Deposit Limit?
- If the standard AED 300,000 daily limit doesn't meet your business needs, you can request an increase:
- Contact Wio Support through the Wio Business app or by calling 600 500 946.
- Have the following ready:
- Your Business ID / account number
- The new limit amount you'd like
- A brief reason for the increase (e.g., higher transaction volumes, seasonal business needs)
- What to expect:
- Your request will be reviewed based on your account activity.
- The process takes up to 2 business days.
- Approval is not guaranteed — it depends on your account history and usage.
- You may receive an email requesting additional details during the review, so keep an eye on your inbox.
- Once decided, you'll receive an email confirming whether your limit has been increased or if further action is needed.
