I have left UAE in March 2018 with an outstanding loan of 70000 AED and credit card of 24000 AED; it was not my decision to leave UAE, I had to relocate to Europe to assist my mother, who is at her last cancer stade. I took a job with British Airways and I always did my best to repay my debts, and I did it, I repaid in full the overdue for my CC and I paid half of my loan. Today I still have a 36000 AED personal loan and I am really struggling; I had to leave my job with British Airways to fully assist my mother. I have no income and the loan installments are way too high. i have no money left, I have no job, I have nothing. I am at the point I wish I could die. This is the reason why I am asking Fab Bank to make a step towards me and help me, in any way. I have been loyal towards the Bank, I have always answered the phone calls and emails, I always did my best to repay on time, I didn’t run with the money like many have done before. I am formally asking the bank to make some adjustments to my loan repayment, such as: moving the due date from the 27th to the 1st of the month reduce the amount of the installments to a maximum of 1200 AED, mantaining the same interest rate and stretching the repayment period. I attach to this email proof of my Visa Cancellation and proof of my employment certificate with British Airways. I had the chance in life to see the benevolence and goodwill of the Emirati people, I sincerely hope the Bank will take the right decision and help a loyal and sincere customer.

As i have got a new job and my current company has account and has asked me to open the account in to this bank my salary account I thought it would be easy and fast as i have been using the platinum card for more than 9 years now . I stay in Al warqa so went to the Mirdiff branch on 31st evening to open the account where I had submitted my original document passport and emirates ID for verification. all the process was done i was told the within 6 working days the account will be opened. After waiting for more than 6 working days i went to the branch on 09th where the customer service person told me that he has send the email to his colleague to do the needfull where he said someone will call me after two days. even after three days i was not whcih was on 12 i went back to the branch to the same customer service person where he raised the mater to the brach manager and assured me that my account will be opened before Sunday. Till today Monday evening nothing has been done and it feels like i have been treated unfairly. if that is the case the bank can let me know that they cannot open my account account so i can go back to my company and start using my current account with ADIB. Hope to get some action to sort my matter

Dear FAB My name is “Nahid Mohammed” and my contact details are “[protected]@gmail.com””[protected]”, I would like to bring to your attention that recently I have applied for a credit card from FAB with Lead ID 1-[protected] but after initial process the sales representative informed me that the application was rejected / declined. Today when I applied with another bank, they told me that in my Al Etihad Credit Bureau Report that application with FAB is still active (copy of AECB report is atatched and password for the report is “nahid22071988”) and because of that my new application is also rejected. So, I would like to request you to provide me a official confirmation that my application with FAB is rejected / declined and kindly deactive that from Al Etihad Credit Bureau.

Dear Sir Sub: Illegal collection of Fee _ Home Finance_Muhammad Shoaib Khanzada_230529 I applied for the Islamic Home Finance on October 20, 2019 and submitted all the required documents and application form accordingly. I have been asked to pay the Evaluation fee of AED 3, 150/-. Same was paid on October 23, 2019. After receipt of Valuation report, which is more than the property price. On November 4, 2019, FAB informed me that Risk department has declined my application_230529 as my employer is not in their approved list. This was surprise to me that such a major check point was not disclosed at the time of applying and paying the fee of AED 3, 150/-. I do not have any earlier loan. My installment amount is less than 10% of my declared income. My employer is one of the well known Takaful Company of this country. Despite all these facts, if my company was not in the approved list than why amount was collected and my fifteen days were spent. My MOU with the buyer was of 30 days. All this delay has caused me too much mental stress of losing the down payment to seller. At other hand, Bank grab the amount of AED 3, 150/- for which they are not entitle as my company is blacklisted at FAB. I am requesting again to refund my my evaluation fee of AED 3, 150/- . I also request bank higher authority to investigate this in detail as why Home Finance team is collecting the fees from blacklisted companies employees.

Dear Sir/ Madam, I am the customer of Fab bank. Sorry to say your teller department is the worst amongst all bank currently operating in UAE. Being one of the biggest bank in yhe middle east customers are in pain for waiting more than 2 hours to reach your teller. The main basic problems: 1. Despite having 5-6 counters in your each branch only one or max 2 tellers are working at a time. 2. Bank gives their customer to visit between 8 am to 2 pm however not a single customer will be called before 8.30 am. Bank staff are coming late to work. 3. Very often your teller system is down. 4. Silly excuse like system not working, only 1 teller may take 3 hours by security is not at all acceptable. 5. Visiting your butik mall branch is like a bad dream. I am an employee of one company, as you guys are… employees make or ruin the company through their performances. Please its a humble request to improve your service. Regards, Aju Thankachen

Dear Sir/madam Greetings After years of being a loyal customer for FGB and NBAD currently FAB, I would share with you my recent experience with what you describe as Smart Call System and agent. I called FAB today 20 October 2019 at 19:40, spoke an agent named Hytham, since o could not recall my Customer IF#, so I chose to speak to customer service, who again ask me about costumer ID or card number, I told I am driving and using hand free so please use my phone number to identify my account and verify my ID as usual by asking the frequent questions, The agent flatly refused to do and told me that I could have stolen the phone and use it, tried to explain that he can verify by asking questions like all other banks but flatly refused again although I told if I stool the phone I could also stool the card so verifying is the only way but no response As a last resort I asked to speak with supervisor on duty again the shut me off and refused This was one of the worst experiences I ever had Felt insulted unrespected Expect full investigation of this incident Regards Ghanem Al Hassani ID 3020081 dr.[protected]@gmail.com

Dear Sir/Madam, Please kindly be acknowledged of non professional attitude and work with customers in branch FAB bank, in Mall of The Emirates, in Dubai. Please be informed that I, Olha Shevchenko, as an existing customer, with all trust to bank, visited on 19.02.20 to make SWIFT transfer in amount of 500 euro. When I came to Teller, he advised me to fill form with all details of beneficiary account. According to that I filled and put IBAN account. However, last 5 digits I put on one line lower. After I finished I gave to Teller to check after me. He was informed by me that last 5 digits I left on one line lower. The respond on that was – “its fine, just leave nearby your signature” . With all my trust I did like Teller advised. My signature is nearby. You can see it in copy, in attachment. Then teller found mistake in SWIFT code and ask me to put missing digit. I did, and as well, I singed nearby. After all, teller informed me that 2063 dirhams and 100 dirhams commission will be deducted on the next day. After that, money was deducted and I was waiting for message from beneficiary that transfer came. But after 5 days I get worried, due to transfer delay. I went back to the same branch to ask for transfer status. During my conversation with customer service, he noticed that transfer was sent to wrong IBAN number, without last 5 digits. That caused delay and transfer stuck with correspondent Bank. I requested to amend for correct number. It was amended. Customer service told me that money will be received after 2-3 working days. I was waiting for 5 working days, but nothing happened. Beneficiary did not receive transfer. I came back to branch, to know where exactly my transfer and why it takes so long time. The answer was, that everything possible from their side they did and now its pending only from correspondent bank to approve amendment. I was waiting for 5 days more, but again nothing happened. I came back to another branch (on Jumeirah road) to ask for refund, as money was on hold, and I did not see any other options. Refund was credited on my account on 12.03.20. Be aware, that almost one month it took for me to solve this issue and because of non pressional behavior from Teller, who accepted my form with account number, where last 5 digits was in lower line, I wasted time. Please I kindly request to notice my issue and be aware that I really dissatisfied from sercive of this bank. I received refund with different rate in 363 dirhams less. And also I lost 100 dirhams, which was deducted on the beginning for service commission. This service I did not receive, my money was not transferred. And it took for me 3 weeks to solve the issue. I am kindly requesting to notify that colleagues, who’s signature on my form papper and I am asking for full refund on my account as a compensation for delay and bank mistake. The total amont is 463 dirhams for refund. Thank you for your attention. I am waiting for official reply on my complaint.

We have tried to contact you FAB thru your customer care several times but nobody answer the line even waiting as long as half an hour to an hour.

Hello Sir / Madam, I Ajay John holder of FAB Credit Card [protected] was informed via a telephone call (by FAB emergency dept) at 3:55am on 13th June of a fraudulent transaction that has taken place using my credit card. I confirmed to the gentleman who called me that I haven’t used the card at the moment and the card is with me for sure and I am within the jurisdiction of UAE at the time of the call. He informed me on the fraud transaction of Euro 4, 195 and assured me the card is blocked and the transaction will be reversed soon. A dispute form was emailed to me which I duly filled and emailed it back to [protected]@bankfab.com Since 13th June, I have been calling the customer service almost every day following up on this fraudulent transaction and haven’t got a positive response as yet. All I get always is assurance that someone will call me back, or Visa is investigating the matter and things will be resolved soon, but I haven’t received a single call as yet. And now when I call I’m being told that my statement has been generated and I will need to pay the outstanding which may be reversed once the investigation is complete. I would like to strongly protest against such a proceedure which put undue pressure on the customer. The transaction of Euro 4, 195 on my card was not done by me and I can prove that I was in Dubai during this transaction and the card was in my possession too. So why do I have to bear the burden of paying for a fraud transaction. I appeal to please look into this matter on top priority as the amount is really big and a customer should not be forced to pay for a fraud transaction. If the investigation is taking time, I don’t mind if the bank blocks that amount from my card or blocks my card completely till the investigation is complete. But please relieve me from the burden of paying such a huge amount while the investigation in on. Once the investigation is complete the decision on the payment can me made. Till then I have an outstanding of around 500 dirhams which I will pay off, but for sure cannot pay for a fraud transaction which I am not aware off. I was also told that if not paid the late payment fees and interest will also be charged which for sure will make it worst. Please look into this issue and sort it out for me as well as for any customers who face similar plight. I am writing here as I haven’t received any feedback from the call centre of FAB and expecting this complain here to be answered positively soon. Your can reach me anytime on +[protected]. Awaiting a quick response from FAB at the earliest. Regards, Ajay John.
First Abu Dhabi Bank [FAB] Reviews & Complaints
Hello, I have successfully applied for a buyout loan whereby FAB would buy out my liabilities from another bank. The agreement was for the first payment to be 90 days AFTER loan payment which was on 24th June (despite bank records claiming disbursement was on 31st May). They also committed to a certain monthly repayment which, I now see on my internet banking page, is higher than what they committed. Over and above, because of the delay the loan amount was higher than the buyout so now the bank has to release the additional funds but they keep changing their story. First it was 2 days after the clearance letter was issued, then it was 2 days after the salary transfer letter was received and now it’s as soon as the first salary is credited. Frankly, they have zero credibility left and I don’t believe anything they claim unless backed by action. Was a seemingly big mistake moving to FAB

Hi, My Name is Bishnu Lal Shrestha. I had a bank loan with National bank of Abudhabi but now Bank name has been changed to FAB Abudhabi. I had left Abudhabi without clearing bank dept in 2017 but I was paying bank instalment in regular basis. After charging unnecessary fines, I had stopped paying 4 months. Bank had threatened me of filing police case against me and I started paying again. Now I do not have any outstanding. Last June 2019 I had cleared all of my dept with Bank. I have requested with bank for sending clearance letter in my email but they said they can”t send through email and asking me to collect by person. Which is impossible for me. Because they have already filed a police case against me. Now I can”t go UAE because they banned me for travelling. I have requested them to withdraw police case but still they haven”t withdraw. Now I am mentally disturbed and going to depression. I do not know whom I knocked regarding this issue. Expensive phone calls to bank killing me with no hope. Please help me. I have a family with beautiful kid. I need to go in different countries for work and feed my family. Bishnu Lal Shrestha. [protected]@yahoo.com

I am a holder of NBAD (FAB) Etihad Guest Visa Infinite Credit Card . My FAB Complaint Reference No. is CAS- 10421-NOK68B. Since I will be leaving UAE soon, I settled all my dues on this credit card on 21.07.2019 and called up FAB Call Centre on the same day (July 21) and requested them to transfer all accrued Etihad Guest Air Miles on my credit card (11, 243 miles for June 2019 and 967 airmiles for July 2019 – total 12, 210 miles) to My Etihad Guest Account and then to proceed with cancellation of my credit card at the earliest. Since then, I have been regularly following up with FAB Call Centre. Every time I have got the same response – i.e. apologies for the delay and a verbal assurance that matter would be escalated and that I would get an early response. I have also sent an urgent email on 29.07.2019 to their Customer Service email ID: [protected]@bankfab.com in this regard to take necessary action and to advise me accordingly at the earliest. The only written response I have got till now from FAB (apart from an SMS regarding registration of my complaint as detailed hereunder) is an automated response on the same day (July 29) acknowledging my email and that it would be responded shortly. On 03.08.2019, I also visited FAB Main office at Khalifa Street, Abu Dhabi and met the Customer Service representative, who checked all my call records and correspondence trails in his System and told me that It was being handled by another department and suggested to me that since it was not yet resolved, I should raise an official complaint with FAB by dialing up FAB Call Centre. Accordingly, I lodged an official complaint on 04.08.2019 regarding undue delay in resolving the issue . I received an SMS from FAB on the same date(04.08.2019) acknowledging the receipt of the complaint ref. no. CAS-10421-NOK68B and was told it was under process and would be resolved in 3 working days. However, despite my all efforts an consistent follow up, there has neither been any response nor any action from FAB to resolve this simple issue . Every time I got the same response from the Call Centre that my complaint was under review by the Complaints Department and that I would receive a call from that Department. Whenever I have requested the Call Centre representative to connect me to the Complaints section, my calls were put on hold endlessly and I had to ultimately just disconnect the call since there was no answer. Ultimately after persistent efforts, I could speak to a staff member from FAB Complaints Department on 08.08.2019 who informed me that my case was being handled by another colleague and he would escalate and send an urgent internal email request to resolve my issue and also to send response regarding updates immediately. However there has been no email response or action. In the normal course, my accrued Airmiles for June 2019 ( 11, 243 Airmiles) should have been reflected on my Etihad Guest Account on 05.08.2019. However it is not yet been done. All the while I have been also checking up with Etihad Guest representatives, who have confirmed that there had been no delay on their (Etihad Guest) part to credit accrued Airmiles to my Etihad Guest Account and they had not yet received any intimation from FAB re: transfer of these 12, 210 Etihad Airmiles ( 11, 243 plus 967) from FAB so far and that I should follow up with FAB. I followed up with FAB call center again yesterday (11.08.2019) also and curtly told them to take up the matter with their Complaints Department to respond to me within 24 hours but as usual, there has been no response from FAB so far. (In response to my query, the call Center representative had confirmed to me yesterday that FAB Complaints Section department was working despite the ongoing Eid Al Adha holidays in UAE. However, the extension number of the FAB Complaint section was either busy or there was no response). It is highly unfortunate and frustrating that despite my impeccable record of settlement of all my credit card dues much before the relevant due dates since inception, and there being no outstanding balance due payable on my above credit card account, I am being unduly put to harassment and hardship by FAB at the time of my departure from UAE, by delaying the transfer/credit of my 12, 210 accrued Etihad airmiles to my Etihad Guest Account and then to cancel the credit card. I urge the relevant authorities in FAB to look into the matter and do the needful and advise me accordingly, without any further delay. I request FAB to look into the matter and take necessary action at the earliest. Looking forward for an Urgent response or action from FAB. Thanks and regards – Vinod Sabhahit

I am customer of NBAD since 2009 and in 2014 I applied loan of 200K and NBAD opened automatically additional account for that loan. Monthly installments were getting deducted automatically from my current salaried account and in 2017 August, I paid whatever was pending at once. That time NBAD cleared me off and stated no loan pending all dues cleared. And I never thought of any secondary account anymore. But in May 2019, I suddenly noticed that on my phone app there is second account and that has debited charges of minimum balance and interest on top. Like seriously since Jan 2019, bank started charging without even informing customer that we acquired a bank and will now impose charges on previously closed account also. Moreover, I raised complaint on 21st May 2019 of said charge and assured a refund and closure of case within 24 hours with reference number SR11974219. Until now after more then a month and 6 additional calls and emails. Nothing moved. This I found to be the most incompetent service ever.

I am really shocked to observe that my series of queries/complaints are ignored by FAB staff. Even though I maintained a good profile with NBAD for the past 20 years, FAB is punishing for being loyal to nbad. Your staff continues to give false promises and the subsequent complaints raised are closed without any resolution. Last two weeks before, I enquired additional expenses due to the false assurance of your staff. I had to follow up closely through multiple calls but no luck. Finally call centre agents refused to take complaint also. After enquiry, one supervisor told me that the staff had mistakenly forwarded my request to wrong team hence I didnt get any response.

I am righting it in regards to my credit card. I was offered settlement plan by the collection department which I had made it full as per the agreement. In the agreement I was promised that the card will be cancelled & they will issue me the clearance letter. I have not got either of them. Still my card is showing active in the system & again I have started getting calls from the collection. I have tried to reach the representative who offered me settlement plan, he never answered my call or reply my email. Also I have visited branch they are telling me to call the call Centre, Please help. Regards Kamran Daniel [protected]

I am wanting to make a complaint about the bank contacting and discussing my finances and account information on several occasions with my place of work without my permission, because i was unable to answer the call when they called me as it was in my working hours. Due to this i then had the account manager taking me in the office stating that the bank had called them on a number of occasions demanding that they must get me to pay the money i owe back by the end of the day declaring information such as how much i owe etc to them which i feel is unacceptable and a breach of confidentiality between me and the bank. I eagerly await your response on this matter before i seek legal advice on this. Kind Regards, Miss Toni-Ann Michael Killen [protected]@gmail.com

I applied for credit card long time back but never received the card. It was not activated at all. When I ask for clearance, Customer Service asked me to close that one first. After the closure, one of the customer service officer advised me to go back to the branch after I received a message for the confirmation of the closure and she will try to submit a request . When I get back to branch, another customer care officer assisted me and she told me that I should file after 45 days. I explained that it was never activated and was never used and she asked her manager Mr. Hassin regarding the issue the Mr. Hassin advised to get back to them after 5 days. I went back to them after 7 days, not 5 days. Im not lucky enough since the customer service who assisted me is not around and Mr. Hassin claimed he didn’t said anything. They asked me to call Customer Service and as expected I have to wait for 45 days. Is there no else to be done since the card was not activated?

Will be cancelling my card soon

I called the call centre and requested for credit card cancellation, they said someone from the department will call. They called me after 4 days, requesting me retract from cancellation. But still i reqested for cancellation. After 5 working days, i got a message it is under process. cancellation of credit card was counted from 31 oct 2019, that is more than 2 weeks later of my request through call center. when i requesred for clearance letter, they told to call after 45 days then i will request on 46th day for the clearance letter and nedd to wait for 5 to 7 days for the approval sms and then i will proceed fpr the letter to the branch to collect. The credit card is closed and to get a letter that im cleared from the bank it takes 10 days plus 45 days plus 7 days so a total of 62 days that i more than two months time.This is a very distresso g situation im undergoing on. Kindly do the needful.

I had a phone call from Maryam Mahmood, FAB Customer Service Agent who called regarding dispute forms I have submitted to FAB. I found her interaction with me was totally inappropriate and unprofessional. I have asked her to relay the issue to the subject matter expert in FAB but she refused insisting that she knows what she is doing. She insisted that my case that I consider as service not delivered as fraud, and failed to define fraud for me. At the same time I want to raise a complaint also for not accepting my raised Cardholder Dispute Forms saying that the it has passed the max period allowed by the Bank. I have referred her to Visa Guidelines but she refused to take them to the relevant department. My full name is: Ahmed Salem Saeed ALRowahi Account No: [protected] M. Phone: [protected]

I had reason to call to make an enquiry – the operative was condescendingly rude – named Manesh. He promised to get his supervisor to call – I am still waiting a week later! I want to close my credit card account and it has been nothing short of a nightmare! Call centre takes on average 20 minutes to answer calls. Branch says I have to go through the call centre. I am tired of running around!

I have actually recommended your bank to two friends due to the fact that it is easy and fast to open an account. But I have issue with me trying to get a credit card approval… It’s been months now and the agent I spoke with told me due to my nationality. I’m indeed a Nigerian, I’ve been living out of my country for years from Asia to Gulf and suddenly I feel racially attacked by a bank. I was shocked, my salary passed minimum limit with extra according to the card offered. This hurt as I asked the agent what could be the reason he said “your country sir” My phone number is +[protected] Customer ID : 4031647

I have an inactive account since 2015, at the beginning of this year they started charging me. I have raised a complaint immediately and they have promised to reverse the amount immediately. 9 months have passed, numerous complainst raises thru customer service and at the branch – received calls and more promises that the issue will be resolved – even they sent sms that issues have been resolved though nothing happens, and till now it is not done. Due to this, my clearance letter cannot be issued!!! It has been more than 2 weeks.

I have disputed transactions fraudulently made on my credit card two months back and was told it would take 180 days to investigate I made numerous calls and early this week i was told it was rejected due to me not applying in 60 days however I applied within 1-3days. I was told I would be contacted by the team involved. I have not heard anything and I have called them every day being on hold for upto 40mins at a time with no one answering. This is appalling customer service with lack of communication or care for their customers
