Payment testing notes for the United Arab Emirates
- Currency: AED (UAE dirham). Most gateway APIs expect amounts in the smallest unit, for example 1050 for 10.50.
- Card authentication: Online card payments in the UAE are authenticated with 3-D Secure, and banks have moved from SMS/email OTPs to in-app approval (push notification or biometrics), with many banks stopping SMS OTPs for online card payments from 6 January 2026 under Central Bank guidance. Source
- Card country: Checkouts that route domestic and international cards differently decide by the BIN country. A BIN from the United Arab Emirates tests the domestic route; any foreign BIN tests the cross-border one.
- Debit vs credit: Only 38% of the BINs from the United Arab Emirates are debit ranges — fewer than in 41 of the 62 other countries we cover. If your checkout treats debit differently (fees, installments, recurring billing), test a BIN of each type from the table above.
- Billing details: phone numbers use +971 — mobiles are 9 digits starting with 5 (05X XXX XXXX nationally); landlines are 8 digits (area code + 7). Generate United Arab Emirates test addresses.

Frequently asked questions
Can I generate a United Arab Emirates credit card number for testing?
Yes. Every number on this page starts with a real BIN registered to a bank in the United Arab Emirates — by default 414965 (First Abu Dhabi Bank (PJSC), Visa credit). The remaining digits are random and the last one is a Luhn check digit. Nothing is attached to them, so any real charge is declined.
Which card networks are most common in United Arab Emirates?
By BIN count in our data: Visa 46%, Mastercard 42%, UATP 7%, Discover 1%. Debit ranges make up 38% and credit ranges 62%.
Which BINs do Visa cards from the United Arab Emirates start with?
Examples from different banks: 414965 (First Abu Dhabi Bank (PJSC)); 409307 (Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank); 417622 (Mashreq Bank). See the United Arab Emirates BIN list for every bank.
Which currency should I use to test payments from United Arab Emirates?
AED (UAE dirham). Gateway APIs usually expect amounts in the smallest unit (for example 1050 for 10.50). A card from any country can pay in any currency the merchant supports; the issuer handles conversion.
Is a generated United Arab Emirates card number a real card?
They do not. A generated number only has the right shape; First Abu Dhabi Bank or any other issuer has never heard of it, so authorization always fails. Real alternatives: a virtual card from a bank in the United Arab Emirates. Testing a checkout? Use your gateway’s sandbox test cards.
