UAE Bank account

[Michaelpitt]

Hi there,

I have a residence visa in UAE, I need to open personal bank accounts there.

I want to know if the banking app shows the full debit card number in the app itself?
I have a ENBD bank account and they censor some numbers of card.

Actually I have to change my card every few weeks and I don't live in UAE so having it showing full card number in app or netbanking is crucial for me.

If anyone using any bank account which have this provision, kindly suggest.

Regards

Did you ever figured out which bank to use in the UAE or did you find someone to help you?

ENBD is best. Rest none of the banks are interested in giving back account to individuals who have FZ visa with flexi desk, unless you can maintain good balance in Bank account. They don't even want to give personal back account, business bank account is impossible

why are they so strict there? Is it because you do not actually live there?
