Eligibility
18
Minimum Age
5,000AED
Minimum Income
Documents ready
Emirates ID + passport with residence visa
Have your Emirates ID and passport with residence visa on hand — UAE banks require these for any credit card application.
Check your AECB report
Recent rejections or missed payments can stall approval
A recent credit-card rejection or missed payment on your AECB report is one of the most common reasons a UAE card application stalls — worth checking your report before applying if you're unsure.
Existing UAE credit history
An active loan, mortgage or credit card held with a UAE bank may strengthen an ADIB application.
Not stated in ADIB's Key Facts Statement. An existing UAE credit relationship (personal loan, mortgage, auto finance or credit card) is sometimes cited informally as helpful for approval, but treat this as unconfirmed rather than a rule.
Debts under half your salary
Your total monthly loan and card payments must stay under 50% of your gross salary — 30% for pensioners.
