The information on uaeguides.ae (the “Website”) is published by UAE Guides for general information only. By using the Website, you accept this Disclaimer. Please read it together with our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.
Not an Official Website
UAE Guides is an independent website. We are not a government authority, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of any organisation we write about, including:
- UAE federal or local government entities, ministries and authorities
- Banks, exchange houses and payment companies
- Transport authorities and operators
- Membership programmes, employers or service providers
Names, logos and trademarks mentioned on the Website belong to their owners. We use them only to identify the organisation or service being explained.
We do not offer banking, balance-check, payment, recharge, registration or application services ourselves. Our guides explain how to use the official channels, and every task must be completed directly with the relevant organisation.
General Information Only
All content on the Website is for general information and educational purposes. It is not:
- Legal advice
- Financial, banking or investment advice
- Tax advice
- Employment or labour law advice
- Immigration or visa advice
You should not act, or avoid acting, based only on information from the Website. For decisions that affect your money, job, visa or legal rights, please confirm the details with the relevant authority or a qualified professional.
Accuracy and Changing Information
We check our guides against official sources wherever possible and update them when we learn of changes. Even so, information in the UAE can change quickly, and we cannot guarantee that every detail is complete, accurate or current at the moment you read it. In particular:
- Fees, charges and limits set by banks, exchange houses and authorities can change without notice
- Phone numbers, websites and apps can be updated, renamed or discontinued
- Eligibility rules and procedures for cards, memberships and services can change
- Islamic holiday dates depend on moon sighting and are confirmed by the authorities only shortly before each occasion
- Expected or estimated dates, such as future public holidays or Ramadan start dates, may differ from the final official announcement
- Some details come from third-party or news reports, which we name or label where relevant
Always confirm important information with the official source before you rely on it. If you notice an error or outdated detail, please contact us so we can review it.
No Responsibility for Losses
To the fullest extent allowed by law, UAE Guides is not responsible for any loss, damage, cost or inconvenience that results from using the Website or relying on its content. This includes, for example:
- Fees or charges from using an ATM, service or payment method
- Declined transactions, blocked cards or failed applications
- Missed deadlines, late payments or fines
- Travel or leave plans based on expected holiday dates
- Decisions made by any bank, authority, employer or other third party
External Links
Our guides include links to third-party websites, such as government portals, banks, transport authorities and news outlets. These links are provided for your convenience and to help you verify information.
We do not control these websites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, security, fees or privacy practices. A link does not mean we endorse the website or its owner. Before entering any personal or payment details, make sure you are on the official website or app.
Advertising and Affiliate Disclaimer
The Website may display advertisements from third parties, such as Google AdSense, to keep our guides free. We may also, in some cases, include affiliate links, which means we could earn a small commission if you buy a product or service through that link, at no extra cost to you.
Advertisements and affiliate relationships never influence our editorial content. Showing an ad or link does not mean we endorse the product, service or company. Any dealings you have with an advertiser are between you and the advertiser.
Scam and Security Warning
UAE Guides will never ask for your bank card number, CVV, PIN, OTP, Emirates ID number, passport details or passwords, by phone, email, social media, WhatsApp or any other channel.
If someone claiming to represent UAE Guides, a bank or a government authority asks for these details, do not share them. Contact your bank directly using the number on the back of your card, and report the incident to the police in your emirate if needed.
Images and Examples
Images, screenshots, card mock-ups and examples on the Website are for illustration only. They may not exactly match the current design of a card, app, website or document, and personal details shown in examples are either blurred or fictional.
Reader Comments
Comments posted by readers reflect the views of their authors, not UAE Guides. We do not verify information shared in comments, and you should not rely on it without checking the official source.
Changes to This Disclaimer
We may update this Disclaimer from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date.
