FAQs

What is Salary Transfer Letter (STL)?
It is a letter that your employer will issue addressed to CBD. STL is a commitment by your employer to CBD that your salary will continue to be credited in your designated account with CBD till the time you have fully re-paid the CBD Personal Loan. The letter will also include other terms as agreed between your employer and CBD. This letter must be prepared on your employer’s letter head, in a format that is approved by CBD and shall be duly signed by authorised signatories as designated by your employers and as notified to CBD.
If my employer is currently not approved by CBD, can I still avail a CBD Personal Loan?

I have an existing salary transfer Personal Loan with other Bank in the UAE, can I avail CBD Personal Loan?

Yes, if you are eligible as per Central Bank’s stipulated guidelines and as per CBD internal credit policy, CBD can buy out your existing loan from the other Bank. Not only that, if your eligibility permits, we can top up your loan as well. In this situation, you may want to note the following select terms:

Subject to approval of your CBD loan application, your total applied loan amount (outstanding with other bank as well as top-up amount) will be booked to your loan account. CBD will issue manager’s cheque for settling outstanding amount with the other bank and top up amount will be credited to customer’s account, a hold may be placed on such amount. The hold placed on the top-up amount will not allow customer to use this money till the time customer will submit to CBD, all required documents or till complying with any conditions stipulated by CBD.

It is important to note that even though top-up amount is kept under hold, interest is charged on the total amount including top-up amount that is kept on hold as explained above.

Also the monthly installment will be calculated basis the total approved/disbursed loan amount with agreed interest charged thereof. Any applicable charges and dues will also be calculated on the total approved / disbursed loan amount including top-up amount that is kept on hold and not accessible by the customer as explained above.

Therefore it is recommended by CBD to all customers availing buyout plus top-up Personal loans from CBD, to submit all required documents without any delay, preferably soon after loan is disbursed, in order to allow CBD to remove hold on top-up amount and for customers to enjoy access to top-up loan amount.
