What happens if you don't pay RAKBANK

Reminders first, then a recovery officer, then a report to the Etihad Credit Bureau, and only for larger unresolved debts a civil claim. A travel ban needs a court order for a debt of AED 10,000 or more; a bank cannot impose one on its own.

What to say

Ask in writing, be specific about what you can pay and from when, and keep the reply. Our deferment guide has a copy-and-adapt email that UAE banks recognise.

How do I contact RAKBANK's hardship team?
Email Moneyassist@rakbank.ae. You can also call 600 576 361. Every detail here was verified on RAKBANK's own website on 26 August 2026; the bank's page is the final word.
Can RAKBANK put a travel ban on me?
No bank can impose a travel ban on its own. Under the 2022 Civil Procedures Law a creditor must ask the Execution Court, generally for an established debt of AED 10,000 or more, and a judge decides.
Will RAKBANK restructure or defer my loan?
Hardship teams can offer deferments, restructured instalments or settlement plans instead of legal action. Nothing is guaranteed, but asking early and in writing, with a realistic figure, is what makes an arrangement likely.
