Sometimes you just want to talk to a real person. Or maybe you’re driving, or you don’t have your card with you, or you just prefer using your phone the old-fashioned way. Lulu Exchange’s phone banking service at 600 526 526 lets you check your balance, hear recent transactions, and get help — all without stepping into a branch or opening an app. Here’s everything you need to know.
Safety Note: UAEfinbiz is an informational guide only and does not have access to your Lulu card or account. Never share your card number, PIN, OTP, Emirates ID, or any personal banking details with anyone who calls you claiming to be from Lulu Exchange. Always dial the official Lulu phone banking number — 600 526 526 — yourself. Do not call back missed calls claiming to be from Lulu or click on links sent via SMS. Scammers often spoof bank numbers. If in doubt, hang up and call the official number directly. For verified information, visit the official Lulu Money website at lulumoney.com . Lulu Exchange will never ask for your PIN or OTP over the phone unless you have called them.
What is Lulu Phone Banking?
Lulu Phone Banking is exactly what it sounds like — banking services delivered over the phone. You call a number, follow some voice instructions, and get your balance read out to you. Or, if you prefer, you can skip the automated system and speak directly to a customer service agent.
Think of it as your Lulu Exchange branch in your pocket, except you’re using your voice instead of tapping a screen.

Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Dial 600 526 526
Open your phone’s dialer and enter 600 526 526. You can call from any phone — mobile, landline, or even a hotel phone. The number works across the UAE.
Step 2: Choose Your Language
The automated system will greet you and ask you to select your preferred language:
- Press 1 for Arabic
- Press 2 for English
This is the only time you’ll use your keypad — after that, it’s all voice.
Step 3: Enter Your Card Number
The system will ask you to enter your card number using your phone’s keypad.
- Enter your 16-digit Lulu salary card number
- Enter it carefully — one wrong digit and the system won’t recognize you
Step 4: Enter Your PIN
Next, you’ll be asked to enter your 4-digit phone banking PIN.
Wait — phone banking PIN is different from your ATM PIN? Yes. If you haven’t set one up, the system will guide you through the process.
If you’ve forgotten it, you can reset it by speaking to an agent or through the Lulu Money app.
Step 5: Listen to Your Balance
Once your identity is verified, the automated system will read out your available balance. It will also give you options to:
- Hear recent transactions
- Check your last salary credit
- Get your account summary
- Speak to an agent
Step 6: Speak to an Agent (If Needed)
If you need help or want to do something beyond a simple balance check, you can connect to a real person.
Just say “Agent” or press the option to speak to a representative. You’ll be connected to a trained customer service agent who can help with:
- Reporting a lost or stolen card
- Updating personal details
- Resolving disputes
- Explaining charges
- Assistance with international remittances
- Checking exchange rates
