Contractor Registration – First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB)

FAB’s National Housing Loan program only awards contracts to contractors and consultants on its approved list. We prepare the file FAB’s own vendor registration team expects to see.

What This Registration Is For

This isn’t a general bank vendor panel — it’s FAB’s approved contractor/consultant list specifically for its National Housing Loan (NHL) program, scoped to Abu Dhabi Emirate construction and maintenance projects, managed through FAB’s FBMS platform. Getting on it opens the door to bank-funded work that unregistered contractors simply can’t access.

Before You Apply

Prerequisite Classification

FAB requires your municipality classification and commercial licensing to already be valid — this registration builds on top of, not instead of, your existing standing.

The Document Set

A specific checklist categorised by FAB itself: company registration, contracts, tender documentation, payment forms and cash-collateral documentation.

Ongoing Compliance

FAB monitors registered contractors’ performance continuously. Registration isn’t a one-time approval — it’s a status you maintain.

What Hayakom Handles

We manage this narrow, specific process using FAB’s own terminology and document standards, not a generic vendor-registration template:

How It Works

1. Eligibility Review

We confirm your classification and licensing meet FAB’s prerequisites.

2. FBMS Application

We prepare your FBMS account and application with the required document set.

3. Bank Review

FAB conducts its technical review and approval process.

4. Registration & Monitoring

Once approved, we help you track ongoing compliance and renewal requirements.

Staying on the Approved List

FAB can suspend or delist contractors who fall short of its circulars or whose performance drops — registration isn’t a set-and-forget certificate. We keep an eye on your compliance status so a lapse doesn’t cost you eligibility for work you’ve already built a track record on.
