First Abu Dhabi BankFirst Abu Dhabi Bank — 20% Salary Transfer Campaign 2026 | Cash | AED2,004 | AED 10,000–19,999Offer starts at AED 5,000 | Ends in 56 days | |
Payday to payoutBank’s campaign end: . The payout has its own timetable.
Commitment Reward typeCash 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. Eligibility Credit card requiredNo Sharia-compliantNo

Payday to payout
Commitment Reward typeCash 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.

Salary for rewardAED 10,000–19,999Offer starts at AED 5,000
Payday to payout
Bank’s campaign end: . The payout has its own timetable.
- Open or enrol
Use an eligible FAB conventional current account. Existing FAB customers must not have transferred salary to FAB in the previous 12 months. Your first qualifying salary must arrive by the campaign deadline.
- Meet the conditions
Each month, grow your eligible balance from the previous month-end by at least 20% of that month’s salary, or spend at least 20% on a qualifying new FAB card. You only need one route.
- When it pays
FAB credits cashback within 45 calendar days after each qualifying month ends, for up to 12 months from your first qualifying salary.
- Keep the reward
A missed month is not paid later. Closing your account before payment forfeits the unpaid cashback.
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.
Salary for rewardAED 10,000–14,999Offer starts at AED 5,000

Bank’s campaign end: . The payout has its own timetable.
- Open or enrol
Enrol in the campaign. You must not have transferred salary to Emirates Islamic or Emirates NBD in the previous six months.
- Meet the conditions
Receive employer salary in three consecutive calendar months. New account holders must receive their first salary, use their debit card and register for EI+ within 60 days of opening. The optional card bonus has its own spend test.
- When it pays
Emirates Islamic processes the account reward within 60 days of meeting the conditions. It uses the lower salary from months two and three to set your band.
- Keep the reward
The bank may reverse the full salary reward if you miss more than three consecutive calendar months in the 12 months after the payout month.
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.

Payday to payout
Bank’s campaign end: . The payout has its own timetable.
- Open or enrol
New HSBC UAE customers open an eligible Advance or Premier account during the offer period and activate the mobile app within 30 days of opening.
- Meet the conditions
Receive two consecutive qualifying salaries directly from your employer in the first three months. Premier also requires qualifying Global Money activity in that window.
- When it pays
HSBC says it pays within 90 calendar days after you meet all the applicable conditions.
- Keep the reward
HSBC may withhold or reverse the reward if you close or downgrade within 180 days of first funding or salary credit. Check its separate conditions on interrupted salary transfers.
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.
Salary for rewardAED 10,000–19,999Offer starts at AED 5,000
Payday to payout
- Open or enrol
Open an eligible Mashreq or Mashreq NEO account. This schedule applies if the first salary is credited on or after 1 August 2026; the bank does not publish a fixed end date on this offer page.
- Meet the conditions
Arrange qualifying employer payroll. The first salary sets your band. For the extra early-bird reward, that salary must reach Mashreq within 90 days of opening.
- When it pays
The joining cashback for this cohort is paid in 12 equal monthly instalments. An older six-instalment example on the bank page does not describe this cohort.
- Keep the reward
A month without a qualifying salary loses that instalment. Mashreq says it reverses all bonus already paid if salary stops for two consecutive months in the first year.
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.

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.
