Who we are
Ratibi Balance Check is an independent, informational website. We’re not a bank and we’re not affiliated with First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) in any way. Our goal is simple: explain — in plain language — how Ratibi cardholders can check their balance, without confusing jargon or pushy ads.
Why we built this
The Ratibi card is used by thousands of workers across the UAE to receive their monthly salary. Many of those cardholders don’t speak English as a first language, don’t have time to dig through bank menus, and just want a quick answer to “how do I check my balance?”.
We put together this guide to be the calm, friendly answer to that question — with step-by-step instructions for ATM, SMS, and online banking, plus tips for using the card safely.
