If you have an Al Ansari Exchange prepaid card (the one for remittances, salary, or personal use), checking your balance is something you end up doing almost every week. It’s really annoying when you go to pay or withdraw and the card says no money — especially if you thought your remittance or salary hit.
Here’s the simple, up-to-date way to check your Al Ansari card balance in 2026 — all the methods that actually work, no fluff.
I’ve used Al Ansari cards myself and asked friends who get paid or send money through it — so this is real advice.
