Credit Cards for AED 5,000 Salary in UAE

AED 5,000 per month is the lowest minimum salary most UAE banks accept for a credit card. These cards are a good starting point for new residents and first-time applicants. Approval still depends on your AECB credit report and existing debts — the UAE Central Bank caps total monthly debt repayments at 50% of your salary.
