FAB Balance Check Online UAE — Complete Guide
FAB Balance Check Online UAE — Complete Guide
Need to check your FAB balance but not sure which method works for you? It depends on what type of account or card you have. A regular FAB bank account works differently from a Ratibi salary card or a Magnati prepaid card. This guide walks you through every single option — so you always know exactly where to go.
Safety Note: UAEfinbiz is an informational website only. We do not have access to your FAB account or any banking details. Never share your PIN, OTP, card number, Emirates ID, or login information with any unofficial website or person. Always use verified FAB channels for checking your balance. The official FAB website is www.bankfab.com , and the Magnati portal for prepaid cards is ppc.magnati.com/ppc-inquiry . FAB will never ask for your PIN or OTP outside of their official apps or verified phone number (600 525 500). If you receive any suspicious messages, ignore them and report immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I check my FAB salary card balance online?
Head over to the official Magnati portal at ppc.magnati.com/ppc-inquiry. You’ll need your card number and Card ID. There’s no login required. Alternatively, sending BAL to 6667 via SMS also works. For full details, see our Ratibi Salary Card Balance Check guide.
What number do I call to check my FAB balance?
Dial 600 525 500 to reach FAB’s phone banking service. It’s available round the clock for automated balance enquiries. Learn more in our Phone Banking guide.
Does NBAD balance check work the same way as FAB?
Not anymore. Since FAB took over NBAD in 2017, all the old NBAD numbers and apps have been shut down. You’ll need to use FAB’s methods now for any accounts or cards that were originally with NBAD.
Can UAEfinbiz access my FAB account?
No — absolutely not. UAEfinbiz is purely an information website. We do not have access to any bank accounts or cards. Always stick to official FAB channels for checking your balance.
My salary was credited but my FAB balance hasn’t changed. Why?
It usually takes 24 to 48 hours for WPS salary payments to show up in your account. Give it a couple of business days. If it still hasn’t updated, get in touch with FAB at 600 525 500 or speak to your HR department.
Does FAB charge for SMS balance checks?
Yes — around AED 0.30 per text message. Your mobile operator deducts this from your prepaid credit or adds it to your monthly bill. See our SMS Balance Check guide for full details.
Is there a way to check my balance without internet?
Definitely. You can use the SMS method (send BAL to 6667), visit any ATM, or call 600 525 500 through phone banking. All of these work without an internet connection.
Can I see my Ratibi balance through the FAB Mobile app?
No — Ratibi cards are prepaid salary cards and aren’t connected to the FAB Mobile app. You’ll need to use the Magnati portal, SMS, ATM, or phone banking instead. Our Ratibi Card guide explains all the options.
