Getting a personal loan in UAE is quite easy if you have all the documents required and meet the eligibility criteria of the bank. Even though few people have all the required documents, banks reject their personal loan applications. There could be various reasons for the rejection, right from the AECB credit score which plays an important role in the employment details.

The employment details may include the length of service. Banks providing personal loan wants the service at work to be minimum of 6 months duration. So few banks reject personal loans if your length of service if less than 6 months. This can happen either if you are new to employment or new to the country.
