Why move your mortgage to First Abu Dhabi Bank?
A mortgage buyout (balance transfer) moves your existing home loan to a new bank at better terms. First Abu Dhabi Bank is one of the banks we arrange buyouts with. Because the property doesn’t change hands, there is no 4% DLD transfer fee — the main cost people fear simply doesn’t apply.
