FAB Online Banking Balance Check — bankfab.com Guide UAE

Prefer checking your balance on a computer rather than your phone? FAB’s online banking portal gives you full access to your accounts from any browser. Here’s how to check your balance, view transactions, and manage your money — all from your desktop or laptop.

Safety Note: UAEfinbiz is an informational guide only and does not have access to your FAB account. Never share your username, password, PIN, OTP, or Emirates ID with any third-party website or individual. Always use the official FAB online banking portal at www.bankfab.com for all your banking transactions. Bookmark the official URL and avoid clicking on suspicious links from emails or messages claiming to be from FAB. FAB will never ask for your login credentials outside of their official website.

What is FAB Online Banking?

FAB Online Banking is the web-based version of your bank account. Unlike the mobile app which lives on your phone, online banking works on any device with a browser — computer, laptop, or even tablet.

It gives you access to everything you need:

Check your account balance
View transaction history
Download e-statements
Transfer money
Pay bills
Manage your cards

Think of it as your bank branch, open 24/7, right from your desk.

Step 1: Go to the Official Website

Open your preferred browser and go to bankfab.com. Make sure you’re on the official website — check that the URL starts with “https://” and looks exactly right. Scammers sometimes create fake banking sites that look almost identical.

If you’re unsure, type the address yourself instead of clicking links from emails.

Step 2: Click Login

On the FAB homepage, look for the login button. It’s usually at the top right corner. Click it, and select “Personal Banking” from the options.

That will take you to the secure login page where you’ll enter your details.

Step 3: Enter Your Credentials

You’ll need two things:

Username — the one you created when you registered for online banking
Password — your secure password

Enter both and click login. If you’re logging in from a trusted device, you might want to check the “Remember Me” box — but only on your personal computer.

Step 4: Complete Two-Factor Authentication

For your security, FAB uses two-factor authentication. After entering your password, you’ll receive an OTP (One-Time Password) via SMS to your registered mobile number.

Enter the OTP and you’re in. This extra step ensures that even if someone gets your password, they can’t access your account without your phone.

Step 5: View Your Balance

Once you’re logged in, your dashboard appears. This is your financial command center.

Your available balance is displayed prominently — usually at the top or in a summary card. You’ll see:

Your account name
Account number
Available balance
Last few transactions

To see more detail, click on your account. The full transaction history will open — you can scroll back months or even years. Need a statement for visa purposes? Download it right there in PDF format.

What Else Can You Do?

Online banking offers more than just balance checks:

Transfer money — send funds within the UAE or internationally to any bank.

Pay bills — settle your DEWA, Etisalat, Du, and other utility bills without leaving your seat.

Manage cards — view your card details, block a lost card, or request a new one.

Download statements — get official bank statements in PDF for visa applications, loans, or personal records.

Update personal details — change your address, phone number, or email preferences.

Registration — How to Get Started

If you haven’t used FAB online banking before, you’ll need to register once:

Visit bankfab.com and click “Register”
Enter your Emirates ID number
Enter your FAB account number and mobile number
An OTP will be sent to your phone — enter it
Create your username and password
Set up security questions

Once registration is complete, you can log in anytime with your username and password.

Troubleshooting

Sometimes things don’t work the way they should. Here’s what to do:

Forgot your password?

Click “Forgot Password” on the login page. You’ll need to verify your identity with Emirates ID and OTP, then you can create a new password.

Account locked?

Too many failed login attempts and your account gets locked. Don’t panic — just call FAB at 600 525 500 and they’ll unlock it for you.

OTP not received?

Check your mobile signal. Make sure the number registered with FAB is correct and active. If you’ve changed numbers recently, update your profile with the bank first.

Can’t access the website?

Make sure you’re on the correct URL — bankfab.com. Clear your browser cache and cookies, or try a different browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to register for online banking separately from the mobile app?
Yes and no. Your credentials work for both, but you need to register for online banking first. Once registered, you can use the same username and password for the FAB Mobile app.

Is online banking free?
Yes — FAB online banking is completely free to use.

Can I check my Ratibi salary card balance through online banking?
No — Ratibi and other prepaid salary cards are not linked to regular online banking. Use the Magnati portal at ppc.magnati.com instead.

What if I don’t have a computer?
You can use the FAB Mobile app instead. Both give you the same access — just on different devices.

Is online banking safe?
Yes — FAB uses bank-grade encryption and two-factor authentication. Always make sure you’re on the official website and never share your credentials.
