As a national banking champion, Emirates NBD is UAE’s ambassador of economic and social progress to the world.
FAITH FACTOR
The Emirates NBD’s vision is to be globally recognised as the most valued financial services provider based in the Middle East. It is a market leader across core business lines and the leading retail banking franchise with more than 220 branches and over 885 ATMs and Cash Deposit Machines (CDMs) spread across the country and overseas.
The group is also a major player in the corporate banking arena. With fast growing Islamic banking-affiliated entities, strong investment and private banking services and a leadership in the field of asset management products and brokerage services, Emirates NBD is well positioned to grow and deliver outstanding value to its shareholders, customers and employees.
ENGAGEMENT THAT ENTHRALS

Preservation of the UAE’s culture and heritage lies at the heart of the group.
INNOVEDGE
First launched in April 2011, Emirates NBD’s “Banker for a Day” programme demonstrates its ongoing commitment to provide career development programmes for youth. This programme has received tremendous response from schools across the country.

Branch managers and other bank officials provide on-the-job training and guidance.
The initiative has proved to be a great success among secondary school students, who are in the process of identifying future career paths.
BRAND PROMISE
In 2013, Emirates NBD celebrated its 50th anniversary, marking the group’s outstanding achievements while highlighting the bank’s solid historical and financial foundations as well as its promising future.
