Fab World Debit Card

Your FAB World Debit Card benefits

Welcome to First Abu Dhabi Bank

We are delighted to present to you your new debit card linked to your FAB account. Your new debit card now comes with contactless payment technology, which enables you to tap your card at merchant terminals to make payments.

It is a quick, convenient and secure way to pay as you go. You can continue to use your debit card at ATMs, and to make online payments as always.

Designed to enhance your lifestyle, your debit card is packed with features and benefits that cover a range of categories. With access to over 100,000 retail outlets across the UAE, this is the FAB way to spend and manage your money. We hope you enjoy your FAB experience.

Sincerely,
First Abu Dhabi Bank

Using your FAB World Debit Card every day

Your FAB World Debit Card is designed to help you stay in control of your daily finances and provides you with easier access to your own money. Your new FAB World Debit Card is accepted at more than 47.2 million outlets worldwide and in over 100,000 outlets across the UAE. Your new card is like carrying your bank account in your wallet. So simply tap your card for all your shopping every day instead of withdrawing and carrying cash. All transactions made with your card will appear on your monthly account statement. Please check your transaction details carefully in the Mobile app by cross-referencing with your sales slips.

Your own money

Your FAB World Debit Card is not a credit card – you’re using your own money directly from your FAB account, so there’s no longer any need to worry about due dates, interest or late payment charges. Provided you have sufficient funds in your account, your purchase will be authorised.

Shopping online

Your FAB World Debit Card also gives you the opportunity to shop online, securely.

One Time Password

FAB’s One Time Password (OTP) is a six-digit code which adds a second level of authentication each time you perform an online shopping transaction. A One Time Password (OTP) is sent via SMS to your mobile and email address registered with FAB.

Free SMS alert

Feel secure, with free SMS alerts on all purchases and withdrawals made with your FAB World Debit Card.
