In a move aimed at easing financial access during a turbulent period in the Gulf, Emirates NBD has announced that it will temporarily waive ATM withdrawal fees at other banks’ machines across the UAE and the wider GCC. The decision comes as regional tensions and travel disruptions leave many residents and travellers scrambling for cash and banking services.
The relief measure, announced by the Dubai-based lender, removes charges typically applied when customers withdraw money from ATMs outside the bank’s own network. The waiver will remain in effect until March 31, 2026, allowing customers to access their funds more easily during a period marked by uncertainty across the Middle East.
