    • Should we require additional information or clarification on your documentation, our Personal Finance team will contact you directly
    • Emirates ID is a mandatory document that needs to be uploaded when applying for any facility
    • If your Passport, Visa, and income documentation have not changed and are still valid, you are not required to upload these details.
    • In the event that you have recently joined Standard Chartered Bank / Standard Chartered Holdings in UAE and your full salary has not been credited to account, you will need to upload confirmation of full salary with airfare from HR (salary certificate) or copy of employment contract
  • In the event of your resignation / termination, End of Service Benefits / gratuity would be utilized to settle the outstanding of the Personal Finance.

  • Currently, your salary is credited on the 22nd of every month, which means your first instalment date will fall on the 22nd day of every month too. However, if the loan amount was only disbursed three days prior to the salary being credited into your account, then your first instalment will only be due on the 22nd of the subsequent month.

    For example:

    Scenario 1: Finance amount was disbursed between 1 September and 19 September (both days inclusive). So your first instalment date will be 22 September

    Scenario 2: Finance amount was disbursed between 20 and 19 October (both days inclusive). So, your first instalment date will be 22 October
