It’s our way of welcoming you to ADCB. We have reimagined banking to make your life hassle-free by designing an easy, flexible and convenient way of opening an ADCB account. The app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Playstore.
If you are a UAE resident, and 21 years of age or older, then ADCB Hayyak is the best way to start your relationship with ADCB.
ADCB Hayyak puts you in control. You can get started in your preferred language. English or Arabic, and choose between opening a Current account (with cheque book) and Savings account. You can also choose between regular and Shari’ah compliant solutions. Apply for a Personal Loan or a Credit card, subjected to eligibility.
After you’ve downloaded ADCB Hayyak, follow the onscreen instructions to get started in three simple steps:
Step 1 - Scan your Passport and Emirates ID and choose ‘Borrow’ to opt for a Personal Loan OR ‘Save and Transact’ to get started with an account and a Credit card (optional)
Step 2 - Personalise your banking experience with a few basic details
Step 3 - Your account and loan are immediately set up and ready to use. Your welcome pack is ready to be collected at conveniently located branches or delivered straight to your door.

On the ADCB Hayyak App, please tap on the ‘Borrow’ option and go ahead with stating your loan requirements. The loan eligibility calculator then shows you the various loan options available. Select the appropriate option and complete the journey on the App. As part of this, a new ADCB account is opened instantly and the loan amount is credited into this account. You are then required to request your employer to transfer your salary monthly to ADCB and provide us a confirmation letter for this for releasing the amount for withdrawals. Your Personal loan is granted against the assignment of your salary and end of service benefit (gratuity) in favor of ADCB, which acts as security for the personal loan taken by you.
The loan eligibility is subject ADCB terms and conditions and may go up to a maximum of 20 times your monthly salary.
An additional one-time fee applies to the loan processing fees and for a life insurance cover.
The UAE Central Bank mandates a minimum monthly income of AED 5,000 for any loan from a bank. The salary that is shown on your pay-slip or bank statement should be AED 5,000 or higher. This means any variable component like allowances cannot be included.
If you are eligible for the personal loan, the amount is instantly credited to the newly opened ADCB account with the amount placed under a block. ADCB needs to verify the employment details and requires you to transfer your salary to ADCB. Within a working day, you will be contacted by an ADCB representative to guide you on this and set up an appointment for the collection of this letter and signatures on a security cheque for the loan amount
Yes, Sharia ’h compliant Islamic finance is an option available on the App. You need to select the Islamic option at the time of starting your journey on the Hayyak App.
At the end of the loan application process on the App, the agreed amount is credited into the account instantly. This process takes only a few minutes from start to end. However, you will only be able to use your money once we verify your income documents. At each step, you will be notified through email and SMS alerts.
The loan amount is credited to your account instantly but it could take a few more days before the amount is available for usage and withdrawal. This is dependent on the successful delivery of your welcome kit and receipt of the salary transfer letter, signed security cheque from you, by our representative. These activities are expected to be completed within a maximum of 15 days from the loan application date before the application is cancelled and the loan amount reversed.
This happens if you are, unfortunately, not eligible for a loan from the bank. In such a scenario you have the option to open an ADCB account on the App and approach ADCB at a later point in time for the loan.
