Dear Customer,

Thank you for banking with RAKBANK.

With reference to the new amendments from the Central Bank of UAE regarding Partial Payment of Cheques, please be advised of the following:

Effective 3^rd January, 2022 any cheque presented for payment and returned due to insufficient funds, the bearer of the cheque can directly approach the issuing bank and request to partially pay the value of the cheque up to the available funds. 

The issuing Bank will issue manager’s cheque in favor of the beneficiary upon each successful partial payment and will make a note at the back of the original cheque confirming the partial payment concluded, and will return the original cheque to the bearer along with a Cheque balance certificate. Original cheque will be retained by the paying bank once the full amount i.e. equal to cheque amount has been paid. 

The bearer of the cheque has the right to claim the remaining amount against the original cheque, until the full value of the cheque is paid or cheque becomes stale i.e. within 180 days from date of the cheque. Even after receiving partial payment, beneficiary does not lose the right of legal recourse against issuer of the cheque in case of non-payment of full cheque amount.

Please note that a fee of AED 5/- + VAT will be charged to the issuer of the cheque for each successful partial payment processed. 

For further clarification, please do not hesitate to call our contact center on 04-2130000 or chat with us at www.rakbank.ae.
