NBAD PPC is the prepaid card inquiry system designed by the bank to make NBAD online prepaid balance inquiry easy and convenient. Employers should train their employees to use the service of NBAD prepaid card inquiry every time they want to know the balance left in their Ratibi card.
According to the Corporate Sustainability report published by the bank, Ratibi services are provided in accordance with the guiding rules of WPS in the UAE. The problem of the low-income section of the workers in UAE [monthly salary up to AED 5,000] not having access to regulated financial products will be addressed by the WPS. Employers, on the other hand, save on manpower, costs, and risks involved in paying wages in cash or cheques, which was the practice earlier.

Ratibi Prepaid Card - Essential policies and procedures
- Apart from holding a corporate account to issue Ratibi cards, employers will be the single point of contact between the employees and the bank.

- Cards can get confiscated by ATMs for a variety of reasons. In such a scenario, Ratibi cards will be destroyed by the receiving bank. The employer will have to apply for a replacement card.
