Change in our Electronic Fund Transfer request form
17/05/2018
Dear Customer,
Our existing Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) request form available on our website and at our branches has been revised based on a review of our business and Central Bank regulations.
The new form has been updated to facilitate VAT payments to the Federal Tax Authority through the UAEFTS system effective 18th May 2018.
This facility is available for Business Customers to pay VAT collected from their clients and for Individual Customers to make VAT payments on behalf of a taxable entity.
You will now be required to enter the GIBAN (Generated IBAN) in the field “Account No/IBAN”. The GIBAN is the Generated IBAN representation of Tax Registration No of the Taxable Entity as obtained from the Federal Tax Authority.
Once you enter the GIBAN on the EFT form, the following fields will be auto populated with the values shown below:
No | Field | Auto Populated Value |
---|---|---|
1 | Beneficiary Name | Federal Tax Authority |
2 | Beneficiary Bank SWIFT code | E868AEXXXXX |
3 | Purpose of Payment | TAX |
Note: You no longer need to enter “GRI” as the “Purpose of Payment” for VAT payments after 18th May 2018.
We hope that you will find it more convenient to make your VAT payments using the revised EFT form.

Please feel free to call us on 04-2130000 or chat with us for any further clarifications.
We thank you for your continued support.
