Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) is one of the UAE's leading Islamic lenders and a strong choice for buyers who want Sharia-compliant home finance at a genuinely low profit rate. ADIB pairs competitive pricing with a reputation for stability and service, and has a particularly strong presence in Abu Dhabi — one of the deepest Islamic-finance markets in the country. Its profit rates frequently sit among the lowest Islamic options in the market.

Is ADIB right for you?

Best for

Buyers who want Sharia-compliant home finance at a low profit rate, Abu Dhabi-based buyers, and those who value stability and service over the last basis point.

Look elsewhere if

You have no preference for Islamic finance and simply want the single lowest conventional rate — a conventional lender may edge it in some months.

ADIB mortgage rates & products

ADIB's home finance uses Sharia-compliant structures (Ijara, Murabaha) and quotes a profit rate rather than interest. Indicative Islamic profit rates in 2026 start from around 3.59% p.a., among the lowest Islamic options in the market, with fixed profit-rate periods reverting to an EIBOR-linked variable profit rate thereafter. ADIB is often chosen for its balance of competitive pricing, established Islamic-finance expertise, and service reputation.

ADIB eligibility

ADIB lends to UAE nationals and resident expats under the same Central Bank caps as conventional banks (80% expat / 85% national first home under AED 5M, 50% DBR, up to 25 years). Salary transfer can improve pricing. As a large Islamic bank with a strong Abu Dhabi network, its process is well established; pre-approval typically takes around 5–10 working days.

ADIB vs comparing the whole market

ADIB may well be your best option — but the only way to know is to compare it against every other UAE lender for your exact profile. On a AED 1.5 million, 25-year mortgage, the gap between the sharpest and a mid-market rate can be around AED 150,000 over the term. That's why we place your profile in front of 20+ UAE banks, conventional and Islamic, and bring you the best — free, because the bank pays us on completion, never you. You take ADIB only if it genuinely wins.

FAQ

ADIB mortgage — frequently asked questions

What are ADIB's home finance rates in 2026?

ADIB quotes a profit rate (not interest) on its Sharia-compliant home finance, indicatively from around 3.59% p.a. in 2026 — among the lowest Islamic options in the market. Fixed profit-rate periods revert to an EIBOR-linked variable profit rate. We confirm ADIB's current best profit rate for your profile and compare it free against 20+ banks.

Is ADIB good for Abu Dhabi buyers?

Yes — ADIB has a particularly strong presence in Abu Dhabi, one of the UAE's deepest Islamic-finance markets, alongside Al Hilal and FAB Islamic. That gives Abu Dhabi buyers a strong local Islamic option with an established branch network.

How is ADIB home finance different from a conventional mortgage?

Instead of charging interest, ADIB uses Sharia-compliant structures such as Ijara (lease-to-own) and Murabaha, where you pay a profit rate. Economically the monthly payment is calculated much the same way, but the contract avoids conventional interest. We explain the structure and compare the all-in cost for you.

Can expats get an ADIB mortgage?

Yes. ADIB lends to both UAE nationals and resident expats under the standard Central Bank caps — up to 80% LTV for expat first homes under AED 5M, subject to the 50% debt-burden ratio and up to 25-year terms.
