Dubai, being an inter­na­tion­al busi­ness hub, pro­vides var­i­ous finan­cial ser­vices and facil­i­ties to peo­ple as per their needs. Among all these ser­vices, the facil­i­ty of buy­ing things in install­ments is also a good ser­vice, which is espe­cial­ly use­ful for peo­ple who can­not pay large sums at once.

Most of them are from the work­ing class and some peo­ple have come from abroad to earn income. If you want to buy an iPhone on install­ment with­out a cred­it card in Dubai, here are some meth­ods and infor­ma­tion that may be help­ful for you.

Many banks in the UAE offer install­ment-buy­ing ser­vices. You don’t need a cred­it card for this. Just check with your bank and find out what kind of install­ment plans they offer. One thing to remem­ber is that you must have an Emi­rates ID before doing all this.
