Any Questions?

What is Customer Consent?
Customer Consent refers to the permission we at DIB need to obtain from our customers when we collect, process or share their information, especially their personal data. As per CPR, we are obligated to get customers’ express consent when we are entering into a banking relationship with them.

We collect and process the data including (but not limited to):

  • Full Name
  • National Identification or Passport
  • Mobile/Telephone Number
  • E-mail address
  • Biometric data
Can a Customer revoke/withdraw this consent?

The Customer has the right to revoke consent. In order to do so, DIB will need to terminate its business relationship with the customer before he/she can successfully revoke the consent. In cases where there is an active contract between the bank and the customer or where there are fees/financings yet to be recovered by the bank, the customer cannot revoke the consent. All credit obligations due to the bank would need to be settled before consent can be revoked/withdrawn.

How long is the Customer’s data retained?

We take measures to ensure that upon termination of our business relationship, we archive your data in line with the legal retention period. We ensure the confidentiality and protection of the data we archive in order to prevent any unauthorized access, accidental loss or destruction when the data is in an archived medium. In addition to this, we ensure ease of retrieval should a need from a business or legal standpoint arise, and we comply with the mandatory retention periods provided by law.

Is the Customer’s data shared?

The bank is required to share data with authorities in order to meet its regulatory and compliance obligations therefore it is important for the bank to disclose to the customers that their data is being shared only for lawful purposes. We do not sell our data to other companies nor do we expose this data to internal staff who do not have the necessary security privileges to access the data in line with their job profiles. We place strict internal controls to effectively protect information and data against internal and external fraud. In addition to this, we work with 3rd party service provider to operate our service such as IT hosting services (only in the UAE). These 3rd party service providers may have access to or process your personal information as part of providing those service. We ensure that the protection and confidentiality of the data is not compromised through contractual agreements with 3rd parties and putting controls in place to prevent unauthorized access, accidental loss and destruction.

Who do we obtain Consent from?

We obtain Customer’s Consent from the Customers at the point of onboarding. Every new to bank customer must provide his/her Consent. We also have existing active Customers who have not historically provided us their necessary consent. As per DIB’s Terms and Conditions (Section 1, Clause 33), we cannot enter into a business relationship if we do not have consent from the customer.. We take every customer engagement point (Branch, Digital, etc.) as an opportunity to obtain expressed consent.

How do we collect/obtain Customers’ Consent?

Customer’s Consent is collected or obtained at the point of onboarding. Customer’s Consent can be collected manually (through Account opening forms) or Digitally (through our Digital platforms). It is mandatory for us to obtain Customer’s Consent, or else we cannot enter into a business relationship. In other words, we cannot proceed with onboarding the customer in the event that Customer’s Consent is not obtained.

Why am I receiving a SMS from DIB although I do not have no business relation with them?

We send SMS to all our existing and historic customers who have provided us with their personal information at some point. In order for the bank to comply with the legal requirements, personal data is kept safe for a period of time before it can be deleted in a safe manner. Due to this, it is important for the bank to inform all parties of the data we still have in our possession for retention reasons and to play a responsible role of informing the existing and previous clients of such data that we still have. The SMS is sent to inform customers that point number 4 above is applicable to them and once the retention requirements have been met, we would take the necessary steps to ensure that any interaction with the bank is terminated until such time that a relationship is re-established.

Can the Customer refuse to provide Consent?

Yes, a Customer has the right to refuse to provide his/her Consent, however, this means that we cannot enter into a contractual/business relationship with the customer or provide products/services. We are obligated by law to share personal data to authorities for various Compliance purposes therefore the need to obtain customer’s consent is mandatory for the bank to ensure that DIB meets its regulatory obligations. This cannot be achieved if the Customer does not provide his/her consent.
