As a Wio Business customer, you can deposit cash into your AED account using First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) cash deposit machines located across the UAE. You can deposit the cash yourself or authorize someone else to do it on your behalf.
? Cash Deposit Limits & Rules
- Daily limit: You can deposit up to AED 300,000 per day across all cash deposit channels (FAB machines and Lulu Exchange combined).
- Per transaction limit: Each deposit accepts a maximum of 200 banknotes or up to AED 200,000 — whichever comes first.
- Example: 200 × AED 1,000 notes = AED 200,000 in one deposit.
- Multiple deposits: You can make more than one deposit per day, as long as you stay within the daily limit. Each new deposit requires a new reference number.
- Accepted currency: Only AED banknotes (AED 10 and above) are accepted. Coins, and foreign currencies such as USD or EUR, cannot be deposited.
