FAQs

How safe are cheques?

All Emirates NBD cheques have a QR code and an MICR code-line to prevent checks from being reproduced by fraudsters. If you don’t specify a recipient on the cheque, or if you write a cheque to ‘cash or bearer’, there’s always the risk of anyone getting a hold of it and cashing it.

Can I request a cheque book with more than 10 leaves?

If you have a new relationship with the Bank, your first cheque book will have 10 leaves. Every subsequent cheque book request will have 10 to 25 leaves, subject to your AECB score.

Can my cheque book be issued in any other currency?

We only issue cheque books in AED. To issue a cheque in a different currency you can apply for a demand draft.

How soon after I deposit a cheque will the money be in my account?

The processing and clearing time for cheques depends on the type of cheque and the channel used. To know more click here.

My cheque has been misused, how can I get help?

If you suspect a cheque has been lost or stolen, you first need to submit a police report for the lost or stolen cheque and then visit one of our branches with the police report to place a stop payment on a cheque which has not been presented yet. Additional documents may be required at the bank's discretion.
