Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about FAB Low-Rate Credit Card credit card

1.5% per month for UAE nationals and 1.99% per month for expatriates, applied to balances carried past the due date. Every other card in FAB's range charges a materially higher monthly rate, which is what this card exists to undercut.

FAB charges no bank fee on non-AED spend. The card scheme's own charge and the currency conversion still apply, so foreign spend is cheaper than on FAB's other cards but not free.

Balances transferred to the card carry 0% interest for up to 18 months for UAE nationals and up to 12 months for expatriates. FAB charges up to 4% of the transferred principal to set the plan up.

No. FAB Rewards are not applicable on this card. It is built to cost less when you carry a balance rather than to earn on spending.

3% of the statement balance, alongside any fees due that month.

Someone who expects to carry a balance rather than clear it in full each month. The card earns nothing, so paying the statement off every month leaves the annual fee with nothing to offset it. Its value is the gap between its monthly rate and the one FAB charges on the rest of its range.
