Most UAE banks allow early loan settlement, but it commonly comes with an early settlement fee, often calculated as a percentage of the outstanding balance or remaining interest, capped at a regulatory maximum for personal loans. This means early repayment can still reduce your total interest cost meaningfully, particularly earlier in the loan term, but it's rarely completely free of charge, so calculating the settlement fee against the interest saved is worth doing before deciding to pay off a loan ahead of schedule.
