Standard Chartered Mortgage in the UAE
Standard Chartered home loan rates, eligibility and a full calculator — compared against 20+ UAE banks, free.
Standard Chartered frequently holds the lowest published conventional rate in the UAE and offers a feature few local banks match: the MortgageOne offset account, which lets you offset savings against your mortgage balance to cut the profit you pay while keeping instant access to your cash. It also has a strong non-resident and international programme and a Saadiq Islamic option. For internationally-mobile buyers, high savers, and rate-maximisers, Standard Chartered is very often on the shortlist.

Standard Chartered mortgage rates & products
Standard Chartered's conventional pricing is EIBOR-linked (via its SCBLR/SCBMR benchmarks) with fixed periods available, and its published conventional rate frequently leads the market at around 3.78% p.a. Its Saadiq Islamic product sits near 3.50%. The signature MortgageOne offset account lets credit balances offset your outstanding mortgage — valuable if you keep meaningful savings. Recent updates added optional life-insurance bundling, maturity up to age 75, and an enhanced 50% offset limit. Priority Banking clients negotiate the sharpest spreads.
Standard Chartered eligibility
Standard Chartered lends to residents and has a dedicated non-resident programme (typically 50–65% LTV, higher rates than residents). Standard Central Bank caps apply for residents (80% expat / 85% national first home under AED 5M, 50% DBR, up to 25 years — with maturity permitted up to age 75 on some products). Pre-approval typically takes around 5–7 working days.

Rates are EIBOR-linked with fixed periods available. We confirm Standard Chartered's current best rate for your profile and compare it free against 20+ banks.
What is the Standard Chartered MortgageOne account?
MortgageOne is an offset mortgage account: credit balances you hold are offset against your outstanding mortgage, reducing the profit you pay while you keep instant access to your cash. It's particularly valuable if you maintain meaningful savings. Standard Chartered offers up to a 50% offset limit on eligible products.
Does Standard Chartered lend to non-residents?
Yes — Standard Chartered has a dedicated non-resident and international programme, typically financing 50–65% LTV at rates higher than for residents. It's a common choice for overseas buyers, alongside HSBC International. We confirm your eligibility and compare the non-resident options for you.
Is Standard Chartered good for high savers?
Yes. Through the MortgageOne offset account, buyers who hold significant savings can offset those balances against the mortgage to reduce the profit paid, without locking the money away. For high savers this can outweigh a marginally lower headline rate elsewhere.
