The Right Loan, Not Just the Lowest Advertised Rate

UAE personal loans are regulated by the Central Bank, which caps total monthly debt repayments at 50% of salary and limits personal loans to 20 times monthly salary over a maximum of 48 months.

Advertised rates rarely tell the whole story. Processing fees, insurance, early settlement charges and whether a salary transfer is required all change the real cost. We check what you are eligible for, compare offers on total cost and help you apply to the right lender once.

What Clients Say

Feedback from founders who set up with TMFS.

TMFS has truly been a game changer for me. Their personalized approach to financial services made the entire process easy and stress-free. I trust them completely with my investments and feel secure knowing my financial future is in safe hands.

Vipul TibrewalMarketing Manager, PSP Marketing

I've worked with several financial firms, but TMFS stands out with their attention to detail and commitment to understanding my unique needs. Their professional team has guided me every step of the way, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

I came to TMFS with a business idea and very little idea of how UAE setup worked. They recommended the right free zone for my activity, handled the licence paperwork, and had my company registered within a week. What impressed me most was the banking. They prepared my bank application alongside the licence, so my business account was opened soon after instead of dragging on for months. One team, one point of contact, and no surprises on cost.

RM
Rahul MenonFounder, E-commerce Start-up

Keeping up with VAT and the new Corporate Tax rules was taking time away from running the business. TMFS took over our bookkeeping, registered us for Corporate Tax and now files our VAT returns every quarter, always ahead of the deadline. Their team explains what is due and why in plain language, and our accounts are finally clean and audit-ready. It is one less thing I have to worry about.

Sarah WhitfieldDirector, Trading Company

TMFS handled my investor visa and then my wife's and children's family visas, and the whole process was far smoother than I expected. They told us exactly which documents we needed, booked the medicals and Emirates ID appointments, and kept us updated at every step. When we later hired our first two employees, they processed those visas just as quickly. I'd trust them with any visa matter.

UAE Personal Loans: Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about personal loans in the UAE.

How much can I borrow?
Central Bank rules limit personal loans to 20 times your monthly salary, and total monthly debt repayments to 50% of your salary. Each lender then applies its own criteria.
What is the maximum loan term?
Personal loans are limited to a maximum of 48 months under Central Bank rules.
Do I need to transfer my salary?
Not always. Salary transfer loans often have better rates; non-salary transfer loans are available from some lenders with stricter criteria.
Does applying affect my credit score?
Applications are recorded with the Al Etihad Credit Bureau. Applying to many lenders at once can count against you, which is why we compare first.
Can you guarantee approval?
No. Every credit decision is the lender’s. We help you apply to the lender most likely to approve you.
