Common types of accounts
Current account
Ideal for frequent use, including day-to-day bills and expenses, ensuring seamless transactions and easy access to funds. Usually, this is a zero-interest account but comes with a chequebook facility.
Savings account
Designed for putting aside money and accumulating funds over time. Usually, this type of account does not come with a chequebook, but deposits can accumulate interest over time.
Joint account
This is an account usually operated by two individuals, most commonly married couples. In the UAE, to open a joint account, both individuals need to be physically present in the country and have valid residence visas.
Salary transfer
This is an account to which an employee’s salary gets credited, usually opened at the company’s preferred bank. Generally, a minimum salary of AED3,000 is required to open a salary account, but in general, it is not mandatory to have one.
General note
