National Bank of Fujairah's (NBF) new business banking value accounts offer tiered, tailored solutions that bring flexibility, clarity, and value to entrepreneurs and enterprises alike
In a region where SMEs power over 60% of the non-oil economy, the right banking partner can mean the difference between stagnation and scale. Businesses need more than just a place to put their money - they need financial partners who understand the pressures of managing growth, navigating regulatory demands, and optimising cash flow while still having time to focus on what matters: running the business.
For thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across the UAE, that partner is the NBF. With its strong reputation for personalised service and sector-specific expertise, NBF has launched a fresh, flexible solution that reflects what businesses need right now: control, clarity, and value.
Enter NBF's Business Banking Value Accounts - a new suite of subscription-based banking packages that aim to simplify financial operations, reduce unnecessary costs, and scale with businesses as they grow.
Built for business at every stage
Whether you're launching your first venture, managing a fast-growing company, or leading an established enterprise, NBF's Value Accounts offer tailored support through four distinct tiers:
Essential – Ideal for start-ups and lean businesses, this plan covers all the basics with an affordable monthly subscription. It's designed to simplify financial admin without burdening your bottom line.
Prime – Created for expanding businesses looking for enhanced capabilities, Prime adds more value through extra features and access to advanced tools.
Executive – This tier supports established organisations with a broader range of services, offering executive-level benefits for smoother, smarter financial management.
Preferred – The most comprehensive package, Preferred is tailored to thriving enterprises that need premium support, customised solutions, and personalised relationship management.
Each account includes a thoughtful combination of tools and benefits, ensuring businesses can choose a package that fits their needs today and evolve it as they grow.
These tiers aren't just labels - they're real, tangible benefits that solve everyday business pain points. Across the tiers, businesses enjoy:
Waived minimum balance and maintenance charges
Free cheque book issuances and post-dated cheque warehousing
Free WPS (salary transfers) and domestic fund transfers
Free online banking
Preferential rates on cash-in-transit services, cheque scanning, and selected trade transactions
Zero-balance foreign currency accounts
Access to dedicated Relationship Managers
24/7 call centre and full digital banking access via NBF's online and mobile platforms
Preferential USD/AED exchange rates
In other words, it's not just a bank account, it's a business toolkit.
Meeting the real needs of SMEs
While many banks offer business accounts, what sets NBF apart is its focus on value and personalisation. The Business Banking Value Accounts aren't just about bundling services, they're about offering real savings, faster access to services, and fewer operational headaches.
'Businesses today want flexibility without the fine print. That's what we've designed,' says Rehan Ali, head of business banking at NBF. 'Our Value Accounts reflect a deep understanding of what UAE businesses face daily - whether it's managing payroll, streamlining trade, or getting the right advice at the right time.'
This SME-first approach is no accident. SMEs contribute more than 60% to the UAE's non-oil GDP and supporting them is not just good banking - it's nation-building.
Beyond the transaction: A relationship-driven model
In a world of self-service banking, NBF continues to put people at the heart of its offering. Clients don't just get a dashboard - they get a partner. Each Value Account includes access to a dedicated Relationship Manager, ensuring that expert guidance is always within reach.
This blend of high-tech and human-touch banking is one reason NBF consistently earns trust across industries, from logistics and manufacturing to healthcare and professional services. The bank's sector-specific knowledge means it can anticipate client needs, suggest smarter solutions, and unlock growth opportunities that generic providers might miss.
Smarter banking starts here
Whether you're a solopreneur looking to reduce overheads or a high-growth company planning your next expansion, NBF's Business Banking Value Accounts offer the tools, service, and flexibility to make your next step easier.
