How do you quickly check FAB Ratibi salary card balance without the app?

[thomaswelberg]

Hi everyone,

This might be a random everyday question but I thought someone here might know since there are a lot of people from Dubai and UAE on this forum.

I get my salary on a FAB Ratibi card and it is not a full bank account with proper online banking. Most of the time I just need to quickly check how much balance I have before paying bills or sending money, but the FAB mobile app is slow and sometimes does not even show the card properly.

I was wondering if there is an easier way to check the balance like by SMS or a simple ATM method. I do not always have mobile data when I am outside so opening apps is not very convenient. I just want something fast and reliable to see the available amount.

If anyone here uses the same card or another FAB prepaid salary card, how do you usually check your balance?

Thanks in advance for any help.

If you don’t want to use the FAB mobile app, there are a few quick ways to check your FAB Ratibi salary card balance.

1. Use a FAB ATM:
Insert your Ratibi card, enter your PIN, and select Balance Inquiry. Your balance will appear immediately on the screen.

2. Check from another bank ATM:
Most ATMs in the UAE also allow balance checks for prepaid salary cards, which is helpful if a FAB ATM is not nearby.

3. Check through a simple web guide:
If you prefer checking from a browser instead of the app, this guide on how to check ratibi card balance online explains the full process step-by-step and shows the easiest methods for Ratibi cardholders to view their balance quickly.

It’s a helpful resource because it summarizes the different balance-checking options (ATM, online steps, and other methods) in one place, which can save time if you just need a quick way to see your available amount.
