‘Dormant’ is a status applied to an account when the account holder has made no financial or non-financial transactions and has had no contact with the bank for a period of three years. When a customer’s account status is changed to ‘dormant’ it becomes inactive.
A dormant account status is applicable at both an individual and entity account level. As an example, if you have a single account or multiple accounts and there have been no transactions/contact for a period of three years, then both the customer and the respective account(s) will be considered dormant.
Please note that ‘dormant’ is a status applied to the accounts that meet the relevant criteria of no financial/non-financial transactions and no contact with the bank as explained above. Any other products and services including any joint accounts will not be impacted unless they become ‘dormant’ on their own.
Examples of non-financial transactions: A balance enquiry via ATM, a successful log in to internet or mobile banking, calls to the contact centre that are PIN-verified through Integrated Voice Recording (IVR).
A business account debit card can be requested at the time of account opening, or by submitting a completed and signed Debit Card Request Form to your Relationship Manager, or by visiting any of our Commercial Banking Centres.

In this case, customers must contact the bank and complete the bank’s Identification and Verification (ID&V) processes in order to change the account status to ‘active’ before any transaction can be carried out, including a balance enquiry.
Once the account status is changed to ‘dormant’ following a period with no financial/non-financial transactions and no contact for three calendar years, the accounts are subject to a review by the bank at the end of a further two-year period. At the end of five calendar years in total, if the customer has had no contact with the bank and/or the account remains unclaimed, the account will be subject to review and closure. Any unclaimed funds will be transferred to the Central Bank of UAE as per the regulatory obligations of the bank under the Dormant Account Regulation 2020, Article 8.
