Nope, not a dream, all thanks to Mashreq NEO dropping a brand-new proposition called NEO PLUS. And the best part? It’s made for everyone: whether you’re a 9-to-5 hustler, freelancer, or bossing around your own startup. And the perks? Absolute gold! Let’s delve in!
What Does It Take To Be Upgraded To NEO PLUS?
All you have to do is download Mashreq Mobile App (yup, the top-rated banking app in the UAE) and open a Mashreq NEO Account. As soon as you transfer a salary of AED 10,000 or more, or you add a balance of AED 50,000, you will automatically be upgraded to a NEO PLUS customer.
It’s Shariah compliant and not a limited period promo.
Once you’re a NEO PLUS customer, a world of benefits are unlocked!

1. Access To A Market Leading Savings Account (NEO PLUS Saver Account)
Users can gain 6.25% interest per annum on their balances in NEO PLUS Saver Account if they’re transferring their monthly salary of AED 10,000+. Users who can’t transfer salary can even earn 5% p.a. as long as they have a minimum of AED 50,000 or more in the NEO PLUS Saver Account.
If the juicy interest rates weren’t enough to make you plunge into this deal, here’s what else NEO PLUS is offering you:
2. Fee-Free Everyday Banking
Yes, that’s zero fees on:
