In a move that is set to revolutionise the property market, Mashreq Bank has officially launched the UAE’s first fully digital home loan pre-approval service. For anyone looking to buy property in Dubai, the days of drowning in paperwork and waiting weeks for a bank decision are finally over.
At Oliveshomes, we know that speed is everything when you find your dream property. This new digital leap means you can now get a verified assessment of your borrowing power in minutes, not days.
What’s New? Instant Certainty for Buyers
Announced this week, Mashreq’s new service is designed to match the fast-paced lifestyle of the UAE. The platform allows prospective buyers to log in, submit their details, and receive a verified pre-approval letter on the very same day.
This isn’t just a basic estimate; it is a solid confirmation of your budget. By validating your financial information upfront—including income, identity, and liabilities—the system gives you a clear “green light” before you even step foot into a viewing.
Srinivasan Padmanabhan, Head of Mortgages at Mashreq, highlighted the importance of this shift:
“Certainty at the beginning of the buying journey has become critical. By launching the UAE’s first fully digital home loan pre-approval, we are empowering customers with clarity, confidence, and control.”

Here is how this digital shift helps you:
- Go Paperless: The process significantly reduces the heavy documentation usually required.
- Convenience: You can start, pause, and resume your application online at any time, from anywhere.
- Negotiation Power: Walking into a negotiation with a verified pre-approval letter in hand makes you a serious buyer—a massive advantage in Dubai’s competitive market.
