National Bank of Abu Dhabi SWIFT Code: ABORAEAA

The SWIFT/BIC code for the National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD) is ABORAEAA. ABOR identifies the bank, AE stands for the United Arab Emirates, and AA is the location code for Abu Dhabi.

NBAD merged with First Gulf Bank in 2017 to form First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), which is now the largest bank in the UAE by total assets. The SWIFT code ABORAEAA remains in use for legacy NBAD accounts and routing during the ongoing integration.

Sending a Wire Transfer to NBAD / First Abu Dhabi Bank

To send an international wire, you'll need the recipient's full name, their IBAN (UAE IBANs start with AE followed by 21 characters), and the SWIFT code ABORAEAA. The bank's head office address is FAB Building, Khalifa Business Park, Abu Dhabi, UAE.

Incoming wires in AED and USD typically settle within 1 to 2 business days. The AED is pegged to the USD at a fixed rate of 3.6725, which means AED/USD conversions are straightforward with minimal spread.

NBAD Wire Transfer Fees

Wire transfer fees for NBAD/FAB accounts range from AED 15 to AED 75 depending on the currency and transfer method. Online transfers are less expensive than those initiated at a branch.

Abu Dhabi is a major financial center in the Gulf region, and NBAD (now FAB) plays a central role in facilitating trade finance across the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia.
