How to Activate Fab Ratibi Card Online?
The Ratibi Card is a prepaid salary card offered by First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), primarily designed for employees in the UAE. It is a convenient and secure way for employers to disburse salaries to their staff. Instead of receiving salary payments via traditional methods, employees receive their earnings directly onto the Ratibi Card, which can be used for daily transactions, shopping, and even ATM withdrawals.
To activate a Fab Ratibi Card online, follow these step-by-step instructions:
Ensure You Have the Necessary Information:
Before beginning the activation process, make sure you have the following details at hand:
- Your Fab Ratibi Card number
- Your personal details, such as your date of birth and registered mobile number or email address
- A secure internet connection
Visit the Official FAB Website or App:
You can activate your Fab Ratibi Card through either the official website of First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) or their mobile app. Both methods are secure and straightforward.
Using the FAB Mobile App:
- Download the FAB Mobile Banking App from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android), if you don’t already have it installed.
- Log in to your mobile banking account using your credentials (username, password, or biometric authentication).
- Once logged in, navigate to the Cards section within the app.
- Select Activate Card.
- Enter your card number and CVV (3-digit number) from the back of the card.
- You may also need to provide additional verification details such as your PIN, which you will receive via SMS or email.
Using the FAB Website:
- Visit the FAB official website: www.bankfab.com.
- Login to FAB Online Banking using your user credentials.
- Under the Cards section, look for the option to Activate Card.
- Enter the required details (card number, CVV, and any other requested information).
- Follow any on-screen instructions, which may include providing a one-time password (OTP) sent to your registered mobile number or email.
OTP Verification:
After entering your card details, you will likely receive a one-time password (OTP) to the mobile number or email address registered with FAB. This OTP is a security measure to ensure that only you can activate your card.
- Enter the OTP in the designated field on the website or app.
- This verifies your identity and completes the activation process.
Set Your Card PIN (if applicable):
Once the card is activated, you may be prompted to set a PIN for your card. This PIN is required when using the card at ATMs or for some transactions. Ensure you choose a PIN that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.
Confirmation:
After entering the OTP and setting your PIN, you will see a confirmation message or notification indicating that your Fab Ratibi Card has been successfully activated.
Test Your Card:
Once activated, it is a good idea to test your card by:
- Using it to make a small purchase at a merchant or online.
Checking your balance and transaction history through the app or website
Contact Customer Support (if necessary):
If you encounter any issues during the activation process or if the activation fails, you can contact FAB’s customer support:
- Call FAB Customer Support: Dial the dedicated helpline number available on the FAB website or your card package.
- Visit a FAB Branch: You can visit your nearest FAB branch for in-person assistance
Additional Notes:
- If you have received the Ratibi Salary Card, it’s important to ensure that your employer has activated your salary credit facility before you activate the card.
- The process for activation may vary slightly depending on the type of Fab Ratibi Card you have, but the general steps remain the same.
By following these steps, your Fab Ratibi Card should be successfully activated and ready for use.
