Our journey began in 1963 with the establishment of the National Bank of Dubai (NBD), the first national bank of the UAE. On 6 March 2007, a strategic merger between NBD and Emirates Bank International (EBI) led to the formation of Emirates NBD. Today, we serve over 9 million active customers in 13 countries across the UAE, Egypt, India, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, the UK, Austria, Germany, Russia and Bahrain. We also operate Liv, the fastest-growing digital bank in the region.
