Troubleshooting

How to fix First Abu Dhabi Bank not working

First Abu Dhabi Bank is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

Your browser tries to reach bankfab.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.

  1. Force quit FAB Mobile

    Swipe the app away from your recent apps list, then open it again. A stuck login screen or a spinner that never stops often clears after a fresh launch. Give it a few seconds.

  2. Reset FAB Mobile network

    Pull down the quick settings panel and turn Airplane mode on for five seconds, then off. This forces the phone to reconnect to the network, which can fix a FAB Mobile session that hangs on the loading screen. If Wi-Fi stalls, switch to mobile data for one login attempt.

  3. Clear FAB Mobile cache

    On Android, open Settings > Apps > FAB Mobile > Storage and tap Clear cache, which wipes temporary files without touching your login. Do not tap Clear data. A stale cache can loop the app back to the sign-in page.

  4. Reinstall FAB Mobile

    Delete the app from your phone, then download it again from the App Store or Google Play. This replaces corrupted files that survive a cache clear and often fixes a crash that happens right after you tap the icon. You will need to sign in again and set up biometric login if you use it.

While First Abu Dhabi Bank is down: what to use instead

  • Online banking site Open the bank's website in a browser if the app will not load; you can still check balances and move money between accounts.
  • Debit or credit card Use your physical card at a store terminal or online checkout when the app's payment screen freezes.
  • Phone banking Call the bank's phone line when the app and website both fail.
  • Another bank's ATM Take cash from a different bank's ATM with your card if you need money and the app will not open.

About

What happens when First Abu Dhabi Bank goes down

First Abu Dhabi Bank is a UAE bank for personal and business customers, and its app and online banking handle transfers, bill payments, card controls, and balance checks. An outage cuts off your view of balances and can stall a payment or card action at the point you need it.

Sign-in tends to fail first. The app may freeze on the login screen or reject a correct password, while online banking can stall or drop you back to the start. Balances can stay stale, transfers can sit pending, bill payments can fail, and card controls may not respond. Problems are often partial or regional: the mobile app may fail while online banking still works, or one service may falter while the rest keeps working.

Questions

First Abu Dhabi Bank FAQ

Is First Abu Dhabi Bank down right now?
The status at the top of this page shows whether problem reports for the bank are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. It does not ping or probe the service. If the bar is low, switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data and open the app on another device; then try a small transfer or a balance check, because a failure on every connection points to your account or device, while one failed route points to your local network.

Why has my FAB Mobile verification code not arrived?
Codes can stall when your registered number has changed or your carrier filters automated SMS. Check the number on your profile first, then wait for the resend timer, turn off SMS filtering, try again on mobile data, and use the contact option in the app if the code still fails.

Why does the app log me out or show 'Session expired'?
The app ends a session after a period of inactivity, and it also does so when it detects a change in network or device security settings. A VPN can do it too. Sign in again, turn off any VPN, check for the latest app version, and reinstall if the message repeats on every launch.

My international transfer from FAB is stuck on pending. What should I do?
Cross-border payments pass through correspondent banks, so a pending status can last longer than a local transfer, especially when the beneficiary details have a mismatch or the receiving bank asks for more information. Open the transfer in the app to see whether it needs a document or a corrected SWIFT code. Check the app for a request from the bank. If the status has not moved and no message appears, contact the bank with the transfer reference.

Why was my FAB debit card declined at a store when I have enough balance?
A decline at the terminal can come from a daily spending limit or a fraud rule that flags the merchant. Check the card controls in the app, then try chip and PIN instead of tap; if the card still fails, call the bank so it can review the hold or rule on your account.

How we track First Abu Dhabi Bank

The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for First Abu Dhabi Bank, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for First Abu Dhabi Bank, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.

When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. First Abu Dhabi Bank doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
