I have been charged a cash advance fee of Dh99 plus vat Dh4.95 by Emirates NBD for an online Binance transaction for purchasing crypto for US$100 (Dh367). I made a formal complaint to reverse the charges, yet they denied. I checked online on the Emirates NBD website with regard to their claim stating that online crypto currency purchase is imposed with cash advance fee. However, there was no statement claiming such a fee.
Moreover, I have done similar online transactions for Binance using credit cards from other banks and they never charged any cash advance fee.
