Can the bank request a travel ban for a client who never defaulted?
Can a bank ask for a travel ban on a UAE businessman even though the owner never defaulted on any loan payments, ever?
Dear Questioner,
Please note that a travel ban can occur based on a court verdict or a criminal complaint addressed to the police department.
This means, that the bank can only request such a travel ban in case there is a substantial risk for the bank's credit settlement.
This is usually the case when the client/ the UAE businessman defaults in payments or there are obvious and known risks that he will default.
Again it is not the decision or the assessment of the bank. It is of the public authorities such as the police department, public prosecutor and Dubai Courts.
If you may need assistance to check if the businessman already has a bank case or not please contact me. We offer such service of checking for a flat fee of AED 1,000.
