FAB Account e-Statement Password Format (2026)
Last four digits of your FAB account number followed by your date of birth as DDMM, making an 8-digit password (e.g. 12340102).
| Document | Password | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Account e-statement attachment | Last 4 digits of the account number + day and month of birth (DDMM), 8 digits e.g. Made-up account ending 5678, born 23 September 1991: 56782309 | Confirmed by the issuer Source |
As of October 2026, First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) says your account e-statement password is the last four digits of your account number followed by the day and month of your date of birth (DDMM). That makes 8 digits. FAB's own example: account 101XXXXX1234 and birth date 01-02-1989 give 12340102.
The password format
FAB's Help and Support page answers "What is the password to view my account e-statement attachment?" with:
- Part 1: the last 4 digits of your account number
- Part 2: your day and month of birth, two digits each (DDMM)
There are no letters, spaces or separators, and the year of birth is not used. The bank describes it as "the 8-digit password".
Worked example
Mariam Haddad (made-up) has a FAB savings account ending in 5678. She was born on 23 September 1991.
- Last 4 digits of the account:
5678 - Day and month of birth:
2309
Her password is 56782309.
Watch the order of the date. In the UAE the day comes first, so 3 April is 0304, not 0403. Single-digit days and months need a leading zero.
If the password doesn't work
- Check which account the statement is for. If you have several FAB accounts, each statement uses the last four digits of its own account number. The masked number on the statement email usually shows them.
- Use the date of birth the bank has on record. If your passport and the bank's records differ, the bank's record is what counts.
- Credit card statements may differ. FAB's published answer is for account e-statements. For a card statement, read the instructions in the email it arrived with.
- Read the email. Formats change, and the email that carries the statement normally explains how to open it.
- Open in a proper PDF reader. Some email apps' built-in previews don't handle protected PDFs well. Try Adobe Acrobat Reader, Apple Books/Files on iPhone, or Preview on a Mac.
- Still stuck? Contact FAB through the phone number or chat listed on its help page. FAB will not ask for your Online Banking password.
Removing the password so you don't have to type it again
Once the statement opens, you can keep an unlocked copy so you are not typing the password every month. On iPhone, iPad or Mac, UnKey does this offline: you enter the password you already know, and it saves a copy without the password on your device. Nothing is uploaded. On a Mac you can also open the PDF in Preview and export a copy. On Android, the PDF opens with the password in Google Files, Google Drive or Adobe Acrobat Reader, and you can then use Print and choose Save as PDF to keep a copy without the password. Store the unlocked copy somewhere private, because anyone who gets hold of it can read your transactions.
