UAE salary transfer offers.

Cashback is processed within 60 days of meeting the three-month qualifying run and credited to the salary account; by our count that is roughly five months after the first salary lands (the terms give no month count). The salary account and Covered Card must be active at payout. The Bank reserves the right to reverse the full salary cashback if the account receives no eligible salary credit for more than three consecutive calendar months within the twelve months following the month the cashback was credited. EI staff are ineligible.

• Offer valid 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Campaign enrolment is required for both new and existing EI customers.
• New-to-Group only: no salary-transfer relationship with the Emirates NBD Group — Emirates NBD *or* Emirates Islamic — in the 6 months before the first salary transfer.
• Three consecutive calendar months of salary credits qualify you; if the amounts differ, the band is computed on the LOWER of the 2nd and 3rd months' salaries.
• Salary must arrive from your employer via the UAE funds-transfer / WPS channels; cash, cheque or personal-account transfers don't count.
• New-to-bank customers must also make a first debit-card transaction and register for EI+ mobile/online banking within 60 days of opening the salary account.
• UAE Nationals earn higher CASA amounts than the table above at the lower bands (AED 200 / 600 / 1,500 / 3,000 by band; AED 6,000 and 10,000 at the top two bands, the same as non-nationals) and higher card rewards at 10,000–49,999 (AED 500 / 750 / 1,000). Our table shows the non-national figures.
• Card component: first new Covered Card only, and only for customers who qualify for the CASA reward. Existing EI Covered Card holders are ineligible for it. Emirati, Skywards Black, Skywards Infinite, Etihad Guest and Amazon Covered Cards are excluded.
• Transferring salary into an e-Savings or Super Savings Skywards account disqualifies the campaign, as does holding an active Personal Finance facility at payout.
• An extra AED 100 is paid for opening a first Alpha Youth Account within 60 days of the first salary credit (not included in the band totals above).
• Not valid with any other EI promotion. EI may disqualify anyone who received an EI salary-enrolment cash reward in the 12 months before payout, which includes customers paid under the June–September 2026 cycle.

No lock-in period and no clawback of cashback already paid — unusual for a UAE salary-transfer offer, and the main thing that distinguishes this one. Cashback is credited monthly to the FAB account within 45 calendar days of the end of the month in which the salary landed. A month in which no qualifying salary arrives simply pays nothing; cashback resumes when salary next arrives, but missed months are never credited retrospectively, so the AED 9,000 maximum assumes twelve consecutive qualifying months. Closing the account before fulfilment forfeits cashback not yet paid. Amounts are rounded down to whole dirhams.

• The headline '20% cashback' is a 12-month total, not a rate. The T&Cs state the actual mechanic: 1.67% cashback on each monthly salary credit, capped at AED 750 per month and AED 9,000 across 12 months.
• Open to new FAB customers, or existing customers with no FAB salary transfer in the preceding 12 months. Minimum monthly salary AED 5,000.
• The salary must be credited to a FAB One, FAB Personal Current or Elite Current account. Savings accounts are explicitly excluded, as are non-AED currency accounts.
• SAVE OR SPEND — either qualifies, and meeting both pays no more. Save: an incremental month-end balance of at least 20% of that month's salary across FAB conventional CASA accounts. Spend: at least 20% of monthly salary on a NEW FAB conventional credit card opened during the campaign.
• No credit card is required if you qualify via the Save route — the marketing copy implies otherwise.
• Cash advances, balance transfers, and annual or joining card fees do not count as qualifying spend.
• The 20% threshold is recalculated monthly against actual salary credited, so a pay change moves the target automatically. Multiple salary credits in one month are aggregated but do not raise the monthly cap.
• Not open to Private Banking customers, SME customers, FAB staff, or customers with delinquent or overdue FAB accounts.

Cashback is credited automatically within 90 calendar days of meeting all conditions, so in practice up to about five months after account opening. Close or downgrade the account within 180 calendar days of your first deposit or salary credit, or let the salary transfer stop inside those 180 days, and you lose the cashback if it is unpaid, or HSBC can reverse it from any of your HSBC accounts or cards if it has been paid. Not activating the mobile app has the same effect. HSBC can also withhold or claw back the cashback if you comment publicly on the offer, social media included, without its prior written consent.

• New-to-bank customers only: anyone with an HSBC UAE relationship, including an inactive one, at the offer start date is ineligible, as are joint holders opening a sole account, and HSBC staff.
• Open a Premier or Advance account during the offer period (1 September – 31 December 2026, both dates inclusive) and download and activate the HSBC UAE mobile app within 30 days of opening.
• Advance tier: transfer at least 2 eligible salaries of AED 12,500 to AED 39,999 within the first 3 months of account opening. Pays AED 750, or AED 1,000 for employees of companies on HSBC's Employee Workplace Solutions (EWS) list.
• Premier tier: transfer at least 2 eligible salaries of AED 40,000 or more (AED 30,000 for Emirati nationals) AND complete at least AED 12,000 of qualifying transactions within the first 3 months: non-AED spend on the Global Money debit card, an FX top-up of the Global Money Account, or an international remittance through it. Pays AED 4,000.
• The salary must come directly from your employer. The terms state that customers transferring salary from other banks to HSBC are not eligible.
• Not in the table above: the Advance salary leg plus an AED 125,000 balance held for 4 consecutive months (with 2 consecutive salaries inside 60 days) pays AED 2,000, or AED 2,250 for EWS employees.

The joining bonus is credited in 12 equal monthly instalments across the first year (Mashreq's page also carries an older FAQ describing a 6-instalment schedule for the pre-August structure). Any month the salary is missed or falls below AED 5,000 forfeits that month's instalment. If no salary is transferred for 2 consecutive months within the 12-month period from the first transfer, ALL previously paid bonus is clawed back by debiting the account.

• Open a Mashreq or Mashreq NEO Current/Savings account and transfer a net salary of at least AED 5,000/month.
• Terms shown apply to accounts whose FIRST salary lands on or after 1 August 2026 (Mashreq's current published table). Earlier joiners are on the previous joining-bonus structure.
• The early-bird component requires the first salary within 90 days of account opening — a late HR switch forfeits that half of the headline.
• Salary must be credited by a UAE-registered employer through recognised salary-transfer channels — remittance, direct transfer, cash or cheque credits do not qualify. A mislabelled transfer narration can void the bonus.
• Bonus is banded on the FIRST salary credited; later pay rises do not re-band it.

One-time reward, paid into the first eligible account only, within 90 days of the end of the promotion period or of the third consecutive salary credit, whichever is later. In practice that is up to about five months after the first salary lands. The maximum is AED 4,000 per customer. RAKBANK may claw the reward back, or deduct its value from any account you hold, if it decides you were not eligible or later learns of events that would have made you ineligible. Claims and disputes must be raised within 90 calendar days of the promotion ending.

• Promotion period 1–31 October 2026, both dates inclusive. With an existing RAKBANK account the first salary must land inside October; with a new account opened in October it must land within 60 days of opening.
• Transfer 3 consecutive months' salary of at least AED 10,000 a month, or AED 5,000 a month only if you are enrolled under RAKempower Payroll solutions or RAKmore. The AED 500 band exists only for those enrolled customers.
• New to salary only: anyone whose salary was credited to any RAKBANK personal account, open or closed, before 1 October 2026 is ineligible.
• Individual conventional AED current or savings account only. Variant accounts (RAKBooster, Gold Account, Call Deposit, Home in One, Fast Saver, RAKsave, RAKvantage, Evantage) are excluded, and so is a salary transfer made to obtain a personal loan.
• The salary credit's narration must include the word 'Salary'. Salary credits to accounts held by self-employed individuals do not qualify.
• If the three months' salaries differ, the reward is computed on the lowest of the three.

One-time reward, paid into the first eligible account only, within 60 days of the end of the promotion period or of the third consecutive salary credit, whichever is later. In practice that is up to about four months after the first salary lands. The maximum is AED 4,000 per customer. RAKislamic may claw back a reward from any account you hold if it was paid in error or obtained through fraud; the terms set no clawback for stopping your salary later. Claims and disputes must be raised within 90 calendar days of the promotion ending.

• Promotion period 1–31 October 2026, both dates inclusive. With an existing RAKislamic account the first salary must land inside October; with a new account opened in October it must land within 60 days of opening.
• Individual Islamic AED current or savings account only. A salary transfer to a Call Deposit does not qualify, and nor does a salary transfer made to obtain personal finance.
• Transfer 3 consecutive months' salary of at least AED 10,000 a month, or AED 5,000 a month only if you are enrolled under RAKempower Payroll solutions or RAKmore. The AED 500 band exists only for those enrolled customers.
• New to salary only: anyone whose salary was credited to any RAKBANK personal account, open or closed, before 1 October 2026 is ineligible. RAKBANK employees are excluded.
• The salary credit's narration must include the word 'Salary'. Salary credits to accounts held by self-employed individuals do not qualify.
• If the three months' salaries differ, the reward is computed on the lowest of the three.

The joining bonus is a one-time cash credit, disbursed within 60 days of completing the product bundle (90-day bundle-completion window). DIB may refuse or reverse it for fraud or breach of the campaign terms. Unlike some peers there is no published multi-month salary-stop clawback on the salary-transfer bonus itself — but the bundle's card/finance commitments carry their own terms.

• Open a new salary transfer on an Al Islami 2-in-1 or Al Islami Savings Account (Sharia, Mudaraba-based) and transfer a salary of AED 5,000+.
• New DIB salary customers only — no DIB salary transfer in the previous 6 months; at least 2 salaries must be credited.
• BUNDLE REQUIRED: the salary-transfer bonus is only paid alongside an eligible DIB covered card and/or an eligible finance facility (personal finance ≥ AED 75,000 or auto finance ≥ AED 50,000). It is not a standalone salary-transfer bonus.
• Salary must be credited via the UAE Wage Protection System / Fund Transfer System (cash, cheque or personal-account transfers don't qualify).
• An extra 15% on the bonus for products taken through DIB's 'alt' mobile / online digital channels.

ENBD pays the cashback after 150 calendar days, counted from the first salary credit, provided every condition is met. The Bank may reverse it if you do not receive 12 consecutive salary payments from the first salary credit, taking it from any of your ENBD accounts or cards. If you take the card or a loan on the strength of the salary relationship and close it within 180 calendar days of opening the account, you lose eligibility and ENBD can reverse the cashback without notice. The Bank can also cancel the bonus for fraud, or for a default on the card or any ENBD loan, and requires every product to be active and in good standing on the payout date.

• New-to-bank or new-to-liabilities customers only. The account must be your first-ever ENBD current or savings account, opened between 25 September and 24 December 2026 (both dates inclusive). Existing products and accounts don't count.
• First salary of at least AED 15,000 (fixed monthly allowances included) credited to the new account within 90 calendar days of opening, via WPS or the UAE Fund Transfer System. Cash, cheque and personal-account transfers don't count; pension credits do. ENBD's offer page adds that only salaries from its approved list of employers qualify.
• CARD REQUIRED: a new ENBD credit card linked to the new account, issued within 90 calendar days of opening, with AED 5,000 of retail or online spend within 60 days of issue. Cash withdrawals, cash advances, fees, refunds and reversals don't count.
• Optional uplift, not in the table above: taking a personal, auto or home loan, or any wealth product, adds AED 500 (AED 15,000–49,999 band, AED 2,000 in total) or AED 4,000 (AED 50,000+ band, AED 6,000 in total). ENBD's offer page says the loan or wealth product must be taken within 90 days of opening; the T&Cs set no time limit.
• One salary-transfer welcome bonus per customer. Once it is paid, you are not eligible for other offers under this promotion or for ENBD promotions running at the same time, and the T&Cs say the promotion is not valid with any other ENBD promotion, campaign or offer. Emirates NBD group staff, contractors and their immediate families are excluded.
