In this guide, I’ll explain how to check your FAB bank balance online, where to find your transaction history, how to get help if you cannot log in, and what to know if you use a Ratibi or prepaid card.
Quick Answer: How Can I Check My FAB Bank Balance?
For most customers, the easiest way is through the official FAB Mobile app.
- FAB Mobile: Log in and open your account details to view your balance.
- FAB Internet Banking: Sign in through FAB’s official website and select your account.
- FAB ATM: Use an eligible card and follow the on-screen balance enquiry instructions.
- FAB customer support: Contact the bank if you cannot access your account or need assistance.
FAB confirms that customers can view account balances and transaction history through its mobile banking service. You can check the available features on the official FAB Mobile page.
1. How to Check FAB Balance Through the Mobile App
FAB Mobile is a convenient option if you want to check your balance using your phone. The app also provides access to transaction details, e-statements and other banking services, depending on your account and card.
Steps to check your balance
- Download the official FAB Mobile app from the Apple App Store, Google Play or Huawei AppGallery.
- Open the app and sign in using your registered banking credentials.
- Go to the accounts section or the relevant account displayed on your home screen.
- Select the account you want to check.
- Review the displayed balance and recent transactions.
The exact menu names may change when FAB updates the app, so follow the options shown in your current version.
Tip: Download the app only from an official app store or access it through FAB’s official website. Avoid links sent by unknown people or posted on unofficial websites.
What else can you do with FAB Mobile?
Besides checking your balance, the app supports several everyday banking tasks, including:
- Reviewing and searching transactions
- Downloading transaction history and available e-statements
- Finding your IBAN
- Managing eligible debit and credit cards
- Reviewing card transactions and controls
- Making transfers and managing beneficiaries
- Raising and tracking service requests
Available features depend on the type of account or card you hold. You can find the current list on FAB’s official Mobile Banking page.
2. How to Check FAB Bank Balance Online
If you prefer using a laptop or desktop computer, FAB Internet Banking is another option.
Steps to check your balance online
- Visit the official FAB website.
- Find the Internet Banking login option.
- Sign in using your registered credentials.
- Complete any security verification requested by the bank.
- Open your account information.
- Select the relevant account to view its balance and transaction history.
Make sure the website address is correct before entering your login details. Do not use a link from an unexpected message claiming that your account needs urgent verification.
If you cannot sign in, use the official account-recovery options rather than sharing your password or security codes with someone offering to help.
3. Can You Check Your FAB Balance Through SMS or USSD?
Some banking services offer SMS or USSD balance enquiries, but the availability and instructions depend on the bank and the particular account or card.
I could not verify a current, general FAB SMS number or USSD code for checking every type of account balance. For that reason, it is better not to rely on an unverified code or send a message to a number found on an unofficial website.
Instead, use FAB Mobile, Internet Banking or the contact details published on FAB’s official website. If you need a non-internet option, ask the bank whether an appropriate service is available for your specific account or card.
4. How to Check Your FAB Balance at an ATM
You can also use an eligible FAB card at an ATM to check your balance.
Follow these general steps:
- Visit a suitable FAB ATM.
- Insert your card or follow the ATM’s on-screen instructions.
- Enter your PIN privately.
- Select the balance enquiry option, if available.
- Review the displayed balance and follow the instructions to finish your session.
The available options may differ according to the card and account. If you use another bank’s ATM, check any applicable fees and service conditions before proceeding.
To find a nearby machine, use FAB’s official Help and Support page, which provides access to its branch and ATM locator.
5. How to Check a FAB Salary or Ratibi Card Balance
If you receive your salary through a Ratibi card or use another FAB prepaid card, the process may differ from checking a regular bank account.
First, identify the exact card you have and use the service FAB provides for that product. Do not assume that every salary card has the same login process or balance enquiry method.
For more specific guidance, read our separate guide: How to Check Ratibi Card Salary Account Balance.
If you are unsure which method applies to your card, contact FAB or use the official information provided with your card. Never enter your card details, PIN or one-time security code on an unofficial balance-checking website.
6. How to Contact FAB if You Cannot Check Your Balance
If you cannot access FAB Mobile or Internet Banking, contact the bank through its official support channels.
FAB currently lists these personal banking contact numbers:
| Where you are calling from | FAB contact number |
|---|---|
| Within the UAE | 600 52 5500 |
| Outside the UAE | +971 2 681 1511 |
Check the official FAB contact page before calling, as contact details and service arrangements can change.
You may be asked to complete identity or account verification before the bank discusses your information. Never disclose your banking password, PIN or security code to another person.
If the app is not working, check your internet connection, update the app if needed and review FAB’s service-status page for information about temporary interruptions.
7. Can You Download a FAB Bank Statement Online?
Yes. FAB Mobile supports access to electronic statements and transaction information, and other statement services may be available through Internet Banking.
To look for a statement:
- Sign in to FAB Mobile or Internet Banking.
- Open the relevant account or card.
- Look for the statements or e-statements section.
- Select the available statement period.
- Download the statement if the option is provided.
The menu and available statement periods may vary. If you cannot find the document you need, use FAB’s official support channels for assistance.
8. Tips for Checking Your FAB Balance Safely
Banking details should be handled carefully, even when you only want to check a balance.
Keep these precautions in mind:
- Use the official FAB app or website.
- Never share your password, PIN or one-time security code.
- Avoid signing in through links sent by unknown contacts.
- Keep your phone and banking app updated.

Final Thoughts

The important thing is to use official channels and avoid unverified balance-checking codes or websites. If you have a Ratibi or prepaid card, check the instructions for that specific product rather than assuming the process is identical to a regular account.
