EK Resignation Tips
Guest
Posts: n/a
Just closed my Nbd account a year after leaving. And they had all cash on hand as I requested. Couple a kilos worth of thousand dirhams bills! I then walked to exchange to transfer it all back to the home bank. Only thing I needed to show was my passport. Someone had mentioned requiring a copy of your old UAE visa... Which I had made and ready to offer but they never asked for it.
It was definitely much easier to close the account than I thought... And in hindsight, it sure seemed a lot easier and more pleasant leaving than joining so many years ago.
So glad to be gone from the slave ship mentality

Slight thread drift (sorry people), but is EK aware of how much experience is walking out the door?

Just one correction/ question to Ron. I know it was a year ago, but when I wanted to close my HSBC account I was told I had to do it at the head office in Deria. Perhaps things have changed.

Yes.
Some comment has been heard to the effect that maybe we could reduce the number of lost cellphones being special-delivered to Brisbane under pillows if we had just a few more mature commanders.
Retention measures have been proposed from our level to very high floors. If we hear anything at all from that it would likely be in early June.

Hi SOPS,
The HSBC process I was told about did seem easier than expected, but I confirmed it again today with the call center. Even if you have a balance remaining in your account, you can withdraw it from an ATM (or transfer it all out before) and close the account from any customer service center.

Clearance/pre-paid phones/roaming
As part of your leaving process you will be required to clear any guarantees showing on HR Direct. If you have a guarantee related to your Etisalat GSM phone the easiest way of doing that is to change the phone from postpaid to pre-paid.
Can anyone comment if the phone still works for international roaming after that change to pre-paid is done? Perhaps it requires some minimum credit to be maintained in order for roaming to be possible?

I have been using prepaid since I arrived here. I am able to make and take calls in any country that I have tried. I have never been asked or seen anything relating to a minimum balance.
I vaguely remember talking to Etisalat about international roaming. Maybe just give customer support a call and tell them you want it.

Dropp, international roaming works fine with prepaid - they don't care about it because you can only use whatever credit you've prepaid anyway. The big deposit is only required on postpaid accounts in case you run up a big roaming bill.
