Partial cheque payment

If you don’t have the full amount in your account, your beneficiary can request partial cheque payment

No More Bounced Cheques!

If you’ve issued an Emirates Islamic cheque towards a payment and your account does not have sufficient funds to cover the full amount, our partial cheque payment facility has you covered. Your beneficiary can partially encash the cheque until the full value is recovered.

It’s best to inform the beneficiary to whom the amount is payable so that they can agree to and request the partial payment.
