Depends on to what level your name has been publicized. I know someone who was denied a tourist visa to Qatar because his name was published by Dubai police for the very same reason. This person was dealing with Mashreq Bank.
You will know whether you have a travel ban or not when you apply for the visa. USUALLY (not always) if you apply for UAE visa and they reject it due to a travel ban they will tell you that there is a travel ban against you.
The best solution is to reestablish communication with the bank and talk them into withdrawing whatever case they have against you (having a travel ban means they took your case to court).
Since you are already out of the country, you have very real negotiation leverage with the bank. Either withdraw the case or NEVER see your money again. Most bank representatives will play ball like this. And don't let them intimidate you by saying they will press charges against you in your own country. Unless your outstanding is over QAR 3,000,000 it does not make financial sense for them to pursue you abroad because the procedure is extremely expensive. And no sane bank will do it if you are still talking to them.
I know two persons who had court cases against them withdrawn in the UAE like this. One of them was dealing with HSBC, the other one with Citibank. Both banks dropped cases when the individuals involved simply agreed to repay their outstanding in accordance to revised schedules.
