NBAD Ratibi Balance Inquiry

You can check the balance of Ratibi, the National Bank of Abu Dhabi prepaid card by:

  • Going to PPC NBAD
  • Punch in the last two digits of the card number
  • Enter the card ID, which can be found on the lower part of the face of the card
  • Clicking GO
  • Once you’ve entered the right details, you will get access to the “Transactions details screen”
  • This displays the last 10 transactions done on your account. Users can search quickly by giving the date of the transaction and also the number of transactions to display.
  • It provides the debited amount, credited amount and total balance next to each and every transaction.

NBAD PPC is the prepaid card inquiry system designed by the bank to make NBAD online prepaid balance inquiry easy and convenient. Employers should train their employees to use the service of NBAD prepaid card inquiry every time they want to know the balance left in their Ratibi card.

According to the Corporate Sustainability report published by the bank, Ratibi services are provided in accordance with the guiding rules of WPS in the UAE. The problem of the low-income section of the workers in UAE [monthly salary up to AED 5,000] not having access to regulated financial products will be addressed by the WPS. Employers, on the other hand, save on manpower, costs, and risks involved in paying wages in cash or cheques, which was the practice earlier.

Eligibility for Ratibi Prepaid Card

FAB has some basic eligibility criteria for employers and employees to be able to avail their Ratibi services.

  • The employer must have a corporate account with the First AbuDhabi Bank.
  • Ratibi prepaid cards will only be issued to employees resident in the UAE.
  • Employees need to furnish complete KYC documents, as required by FAB to be eligible.

  • Download, print, complete and submit the iBanking application form for access to FAB’s online card management feature.

Ratibi Prepaid Card - Essential policies and procedures

  • Apart from holding a corporate account to issue Ratibi cards, employers will be the single point of contact between the employees and the bank.
  • Employers are responsible to train their employees on the handling and usage of the card. This is essential since most of the low-income workers do not have prior experience with using modern banking facilities.
  • Cards can get confiscated by ATMs for a variety of reasons. In such a scenario, Ratibi cards will be destroyed by the receiving bank. The employer will have to apply for a replacement card.
