## About

The largest bank in the UAE, offering personal, business and corporate banking with accounts, cards, finance, and online and mobile banking.

## Activity summary

Status from Syria not yet established. A volunteer made the first approach to the bank in September 2026, asking it to reassess its blanket block on Syrian IP addresses, and the site and app have not been tested from inside the country.

## Community reports

- 2026-09-09 — Contacted Company. The first outreach to First Abu Dhabi Bank: a community volunteer asked atyourservice@bankfab.com to reassess the blanket block on Syrian IP addresses, noting it also cuts off UAE-resident customers who travel to Syria temporarily.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
