I wanted to share a small real-life issue and see how others handle it. I’m living in Dubai and recently needed to check my FAB bank balance to sort out some regular expenses. It happened on a weekend, and when I went to the branch out of habit, it was closed. That left me waiting longer than expected just to confirm my balance.



It made me realize how inconvenient this can be when you’re trying to plan things properly, especially if you’re managing rent, utilities, or other time-sensitive payments. Not everyone works standard hours, and sometimes you just need a quick, accurate balance check without relying on branch timings.



For people who’ve dealt with FAB or similar banks in the UAE, what’s the most reliable way you’ve found to check your balance when branches aren’t open? Do you depend on ATMs, apps, or other methods that consistently show the correct amount?
