Emirates Islamic cuts reversion margin in updated Home Finance pricing (valid to 31 August 2026)
Emirates Islamic
Emirates Islamic has released updated Home Finance pricing valid until 31 August 2026 — and cut the variable reversion margin, making the post-fixed rate cheaper for new customers.
What’s changed
- Reversion margin cut on the variable (post-fixed) rate — Salary Transfer now 3M EIBOR + 1.79% (previously +1.99%), and NSTL / self-employed 3M EIBOR + 1.89% (previously +1.99%).
- New fixed pricing published for terms up to 3 and 5 years.
- Pricing valid until 31 August 2026.
Fixed rates (residential, Option 1 — fixed then variable)
| Segment | Up to 3 years | Up to 5 years |
|---|---|---|
| Salary Transfer | 3.99% | 4.39% |
| NSTL / Self-employed | 4.19% | 4.59% |
After the fixed period
| Segment | Reversion rate | Minimum rate |
|---|---|---|
| Salary Transfer | 3M EIBOR + 1.79% | 3M EIBOR less 10bps, or 1.99% p.a. — whichever is lower |
| NSTL / Self-employed | 3M EIBOR + 1.89% | 3M EIBOR less 10bps, or 2.24% p.a. — whichever is lower |
Customers taking a fixed rate must include at least one year of variable pricing after the fixed period in the total finance tenor.
What it means for borrowers
- Lower long-term cost: a 20bps reduction in the reversion margin directly lowers what you pay once the fixed period ends — on a AED 1.5M balance that’s roughly AED 3,000 a year saved after reversion.
- Salary transfer wins again: the gap between Salary Transfer and NSTL pricing is meaningful at both the fixed and variable stage — worth weighing if you can move your salary.
- Watch the current EIBOR: reversion is EIBOR-linked, so the 3-month EIBOR (currently 3.87%) drives your real post-fixed rate. We model the full-term cost, not just the headline.
