FAQ – FAB SWIFT Codes

What is the main SWIFT code for First Abu Dhabi Bank?

The primary SWIFT code for First Abu Dhabi Bank is NBADAEAA (or NBADAEAAXXX). This code routes payments to FAB’s head office and is valid for most international transfers. An alternative code FGBMAEAA also exists from the First Gulf Bank merger.

Can I use NBADAEAA instead of NBADAEAAXXX?

Yes. Both formats are valid. The 8-character version (NBADAEAA) automatically defaults to head office. International banking systems accept both, though some foreign banks’ payment platforms require exactly 11 characters—in which case use NBADAEAAXXX.

Is the SWIFT code the same for all FAB branches?

Yes, the base code NBADAEAA is valid for all FAB branches in the UAE and will route payments correctly. However, for specific branches or operations like Trade Finance or Global Markets, there are separate codes with suffixes (e.g., TFO, ADG, EST).

Why does FAB have two different SWIFT codes (NBADAEAA and FGBMAEAA)?

First Abu Dhabi Bank was formed in 2017 through the merger of National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD) and First Gulf Bank (FGB). Both legacy SWIFT codes remain active: NBADAEAA (from NBAD) and FGBMAEAA (from FGB). For most transfers, NBADAEAA is the preferred code.

What happens if I use the wrong FAB branch code?

The transaction will not fail. FAB’s central clearing system receives all SWIFT messages regardless of branch suffix. Incorrect codes trigger internal routing protocols that redirect funds to the correct branch or account. Processing delay: typically 24-48 hours. No additional fees are charged by FAB for internal re-routing.

What is the SWIFT code for FAB Trade Finance?

The SWIFT code for FAB Trade Finance Operations is NBADAEAATFO. For Letters of Credit and trade-related transactions, this code ensures faster processing by the specialized department.

What is the SWIFT code for FAB Dubai branches?

FAB Dubai branches use codes with specific suffixes: Sheikh Zayed Road branch uses NBADAEAASZR, Mall of the Emirates uses NBADAEAAMOE, and Deira branch uses NBADAEAADEI. You can also use the main code NBADAEAA for all Dubai transfers.

Is the SWIFT code different for AED vs. foreign currency accounts?

No. SWIFT code selection is independent of currency. The same code serves accounts denominated in AED, USD, EUR, GBP, and all other currencies FAB handles. Currency identification occurs through separate fields in the SWIFT message format (specifically the MT103 currency code field).

What is FAB’s official SWIFT code according to the bank?

According to First Abu Dhabi Bank’s official website (bankfab.com), the official FAB SWIFT code is NBADAEAA. This code is used for all international fund transfers to FAB accounts across all branches in the UAE.

Does FAB offer Islamic banking services?

Yes. First Abu Dhabi Bank offers Sharia-compliant Islamic banking products and services through its Islamic Banking Division. The SWIFT code for this division is NBADAEAAISD. All FAB Islamic products are supervised by the bank’s Sharia Board.
