Some 73% of UAE residents are in debt to their banks. That’s the latest figure to come from a compareit4me.com survey, which reveals credit cards top the list at 57.2%. Of those polled, 45% admit dealing with their debt is highly stressful but almost all are planning to spend more as the festive season approaches. The report also details how 15.8% of respondents have made late payments, or even missed them completely. Jon Richards, CEO of compareit4me.com, shares how banks in the UAE are adjusting to assist consumers with bad debt.
