United Arab Bank Mortgage in the UAE
United Arab Bank home loan rates, eligibility and a full calculator — compared against 20+ UAE banks, free.
United Arab Bank (UAB) is a nimble mid-sized lender known for flexible underwriting and a genuine appetite for self-employed and business-owner applicants that larger banks sometimes decline. If your income is non-standard — commission-based, business profit, or multiple sources — UAB is frequently more willing to structure a deal. It offers both conventional and Islamic options and can be a valuable alternative when a big-four bank says no.

United Arab Bank mortgage rates & products
UAB's mortgage pricing indicatively starts around 4.25% p.a. in 2026, with variable options at EIBOR + margin, and both conventional and Islamic structures available. UAB's real value isn't the headline rate — it's underwriting flexibility. It's frequently more willing to consider self-employed income, business profit, and non-standard profiles, which can make it the difference between approval and decline for the right buyer.
United Arab Bank eligibility
UAB lends to UAE nationals and resident expats under standard Central Bank caps (80% expat / 85% national first home under AED 5M, 50% DBR, up to 25 years), with a comparatively flexible appetite for self-employed and non-standard income. As a mid-sized bank, its process is personal but may take a little longer than the fastest big-four banks.
