I had allot of money taken out of my bank without any prior notice or warning . It was due to not updating my personal information. Which I didn’t know I was meant to do.the bank had deducted 450 each month for the last year and a half without telling me. Not even an sms or an email or a calls never mind even telling me in person whenever I was at the bank.
customer service contact number never respond properly. Is there any number to contact bank?????

Farouk Peerajade-employee in DIB
Farouk Peerajade for being a great employee in DIB, he helped me in quick, professional , fast and smart way for a second time.
He is not saving any effort to listen and understand to the customer concerns and problems.
Farouk is eager to provide all the options and the solutions.

EARLY SETTLEMENT AND UNFREEZING ACCOUNT VERY VERY TOUGH .
My account freezed during my job change . I applied for early settlement but they are ready to settle.
Nor unfreezing, nor processing early settlement .
Trapped opening account in Dubai Islamic bank.
My salaries are transferring to same account but cant withdraw.
I have no money for daily expense, all savings trapped in account.
Don’t trust this bank. A lot of frauds with credit cards, no customer support. It’s self-murder to have an account in this bank. I’m trying to close my account more than one month
First time to experience a delay on fund transfer, just local transfer. Most fund transfer is received instantly, especially local transfer. But, it’s been days documents were provided by the depository bank that the funds was successfully transferred. and when you call DIB, they will tell you to wait for another working days. Funds is for the purpose of paying bills but at the end their customer will have a hard time due to their poor service.
Had to visit the branch in fujairah to update my KYC because the application is horrible. The main branch office is suppose to help you but they just can’t do anything for updating my file.So dissappointed I will not use DIB ever again.
I enjoy interacting with Dubai Islamic Bank since their customer service staff is always prepared to assist. They’re also constantly eager to respond to all of my questions without hesitation.

Probably the worst banking experience in world
Especially on digital side. No transparency on fees, terrible rates, it just made to make you feel miserable.
Ive been with DIB bank for 10 years, first time Ive been to Burjuman nearby branch to update for my KYC details because it wont work when im updating it through online. Again ,They ask me to just update it online which I have explained already that i have done it and it doesnt work. The guy sitting in sales and service desk told me to just comeback tomorrow and he will update. He is very rude in communicating with people. Not a customer care oriented. I felt disppointed in this branch.
I had the worst experience in buying A new car. I applied to DIB and all documents are provided as requested. The bank has decided to send someone to do a site visit for our office since the company is not listed. However, I was not notified beforehand about this inspection and everyone is on leave for Christmas and new year celebration. Later, the next day, someone called at 9:00Am from a mobile number requesting my personal details and rudely asking me to arrange a meeting for him with the owner and HR of our company at office. He was unfortunately talking to me like an investigator with some rude tone. I tried to understand how come he knew about my request for Auto Loan but he refused to share his name neither the company name. Here, I decided to not share my personal information, such Calls usually fishers or scammers try always to scam. As result, my request got delayed with DIB and I reported this phone call to DIB. DIB confirmed that the 3rd party company is only tasked to do a site visit and not requested to play a role of investigator or ask personal details.
We agreed they will send someone else the next day. So I cancelled all my appointments and I waited the whole day until I did a follow up and they said they could not find someone to do a site visit so I have to wait for the next day.
DIB customer service was trying to help but obviously it is something related to internal process and he could not do anything.

Express transfer is taking 1 minutes as per them but it took more then 7 hours.i have done express transfer on 23rd December and next day I got the message that my transfer is failed.today is 27th of December still I am waiting for my money and I don’t when it will be solved even coustomer care also doesn’t know..
DIB representative gave me the wrong information on credit card interest and the early settlement closure process. Made the installment 4500 instead of 1500 AED per month. I made a complaint it took them 3 weeks to call back and they did basically nothing to resolve instead ask me to arrange more money.
Because of their untrained staff, a customer has to suffer. They had all the call records which indicated that their representative misguided me still did not bother to do anything about it. It’s the worst you can expect.
Worst bank. Worst staff. Lazy staff. Took more than 2 months to get just an NOC to change my mortgage insurance. This bank was never my choice, Noor bank closed down and passed us to this HORROR. I’ll do my best to take my business from them asap.. as it takes your time, energy, health to deal with them. Staff are completely unprofessional, completely lack knowledge on their job, utterly lazy, I had to make complaints, that’s the only time they moved! They have so many bad reviews, they should be closed down or completely change staff, starting from top managers to teller staff.
DIB Solutions Hub in Oud Metha – Very politic and unprofessional. Came very early only to be entertained an hour after! NOTE! There’s not even clients nor customer yet. They will let you wait for hours for nonsense chitchatting with their colleagues. Everyone has their own business to attend – time is very important regardless what nationality you’re in. So sooo disappointed how they works.. they literally get paid to chitchat.
Hi DIB! I would just like to commend Mr. Diya Yousef of Al Ain, DIB, Al Jimi branch. Mr. Diya is very professional, friendly, prompt and very much knowledgeable of how DIB operates. I have been a customer of 9 yrs now and ALL my loan applications are swift and hassle- free. This pandemic season has been challenging but Mr. Diya made things possible. He just assisted me with my top up loan application and I got the money in just 3-4 days! Mr. Diya keeps in touch with his clients and serves over and beyond his duty. He is trully admirable and is excellent in his job! He’s one of the reasons why I am banking with DIB until now.
If there’s someone who deserves promotion or raise, I would highly recommend Mr. Diya Yousef, Al Jimi, Al Ain branch.
