What Is First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB)?
First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) is the largest bank in the United Arab Emirates, formed through the merger of First Gulf Bank (FGB) and National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD). Headquartered in Abu Dhabi, FAB serves retail customers, high-net-worth individuals, SMEs, large corporates, and government entities across the UAE and internationally.
FAB is widely used for salary accounts, business banking, trade finance, international transfers, and corporate treasury operations. Because of this, FAB bank statements are commonly required for accounting, audits, visa processing, loan applications, and financial compliance.
FAB bank statements are typically issued as digitally generated PDF files, often password-protected. These statements contain structured transaction tables with dates, narration, debit, credit, and running balances. Once unlocked, FAB statements usually convert cleanly to CSV or Excel, making them suitable for bookkeeping, reconciliation, and cash-flow analysis.

What Is the Password of a FAB Bank Statement PDF?
First Abu Dhabi Bank often protects PDF bank statements with a password for security reasons.
In most cases, the password is based on your personal account details, such as:
- Your date of birth (commonly in DDMMYYYY format)
- A combination of customer ID and date of birth
- Instructions displayed on the statement download page or email
The exact password format can vary depending on:
- Account type (retail vs business)
- Download source (web vs email vs mobile app)
- FAB’s current security policy
If the PDF opens without requesting a password, it is already unlocked.
Important Before Conversion
This PDF to CSV converter cannot process password-protected PDFs.
Before uploading, you must:
- Open the FAB PDF using the correct password
- Save an unlocked copy of the PDF
- Upload the unlocked file for conversion
If you’re unsure about the password, check the download instructions provided by FAB or the email containing the statement.

How First Abu Dhabi Bank Statements Are Structured
A typical FAB bank statement PDF includes:
- Transaction date
- Description / narration
- Debit amount
- Credit amount
- Running balance
FAB generally uses separate debit and credit columns, which helps maintain clean structure during conversion.
One thing to be aware of:
FAB narration fields often include reference numbers, transfer channels, merchant identifiers, and internal transaction codes. These are valid but may appear cluttered after conversion into CSV or Excel.
Common Issues When Converting FAB PDF Statements
Most FAB conversions work smoothly, but a few things are worth knowing.
Long narration fields
FAB transaction descriptions may contain detailed references. This rarely affects amounts or balances but may need cleanup if narration clarity matters.
Multi-page transaction splits
Long statements can visually split transactions across pages. The converter usually handles this correctly, but a quick review is recommended.
Date format interpretation
Dates typically convert correctly, but always confirm Excel or Google Sheets interprets them properly before sorting or filtering.
Why Convert a FAB PDF Statement to CSV or Excel?
A FAB PDF statement is suitable for records — but difficult to work with.
Converting it to CSV or Excel allows you to:
- Sort transactions by date or amount
- Track income and expenses
- Reconcile balances
- Prepare data for accountants or auditors
- Upload transactions into accounting software
- Combine multiple months into a single spreadsheet
This is especially useful for:
- UAE salary earners
- Business owners and entrepreneurs
- Property investors
- Professionals preparing loan, visa, or compliance documents
PDF is what banks issue.
CSV and Excel are what people actually use.
When This Tool Is a Good Fit for FAB Users
This converter is a good choice if:
- You already have a FAB PDF statement
- You need usable transaction data quickly
- Amounts and balances matter more than perfect narration
- You want to avoid manual copy-paste work
You may need additional review if:
- You’re preparing audited or regulated submissions
- Narration must be perfectly standardized
- The statement layout is unusually complex
In those cases, conversion still saves time — but verification is essential.
