Ras Al Khaimah National Bank
Correct, full, name is National Bank of Ras Al Khaimah. RAK Bank might just be one of the better banks to sign up with. Or at least it's less bad than most other banks, which seem to annoy all their customers eventually. Opening hours are better than most UAE banks.
In December 2003, RAK Bank became one of the first banks in the UAE to offer mortgage finance for freehold property purchases for expats (after Mashreq Bank).
RAK Bank opening hours
- Banking Kiosks open 10am - 10pm Sat-Thu and 2-8pm on Fri, except for Arabian Ranches (open 10am-5pm Sun-Thu). Banking Kiosks don't offer the full range of services, only the ones you don't need when you get there. So make sure before going that they can do what you want.
- All branches open 8am-3pm from Sun-Thu, some branches open Sat 8am-3pm, and some branches open for limited services through to 7pm in the evenings. See "Open" column in table for which banks.
RAK Bank alliances
- HDFC Bank in India for Non-Resident Indians (NRI). RAK Bank customers can apparently access their accounts in India via HDFC Bank.
- UAE Exchange foreign exchange will accept payments for RAK Bank credit cards. At least, they did in 2004.
- Al Fardan Exchange offices will also accept RAK Bank credit card payments (from 2006).
RAK Bank Branches
- Banking Kiosks included.
- RAK Bank not in Ajman or Umm Al Quwain
