There's a lot of outdated information online about this, so let's be direct: FAB has not launched any official WhatsApp banking service.

The only WhatsApp contact associated with FAB is +1 704 771 0476 — and that exists only for reporting scams and fraud, not for customer banking.

FAB has confirmed this directly on bankfab.com's help-and-support page: "No WhatsApp Banking Service FAB has not officially launched WhatsApp banking for customers."

If anyone contacts you via WhatsApp claiming to be FAB support, treat it as suspicious. Use the verified channels instead: mobile app, online banking, ATM, SMS, or phone at 600 52 5500 / +971 2 681 1511.
