One of our biggest strategic priorities is expanding Emirates NBD from a Dubai-based banking player to a truly global entity. That includes through a combination of both organic growth and strategic acquisitions in high potential locations.
Even better, through our career mobility programme, we encourage all employees to look at new international roles with us, especially across our high-growth markets like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and India.
Emirates NBD acquired DenizBank in 2019, adding considerable assets to the Emirates NBD Group and making Turkey our biggest market outside the UAE. As a full-scale commercial bank, DenizBank services 15 million customers, operates 700 branches domestically in Turkey and a further 26 branches across Austria, Germany and Bahrain. DenizBank also employs over 14,000 people across those markets.
We established our foothold in Egypt in June 2013 through our acquisition of BNP Paribas’ Egyptian operations. Our head office is based in New Cairo and we’ve currently got over 3,000 employees across the country including in our 69 strategically located branches. We offer our Egyptian customers a broad range of both retail and wholesale banking services.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is one of Emirates NBD’s core strategic growth markets. We have ambitious domestic expansion plans, especially driven by KSA’s rapid economic transformation. Emirates NBD was the first international bank to open branches in Mecca and Medina, underscoring the deep, long-term relationship between the UAE and KSA. We offer retail, corporate, treasury and wealth management services, capitalising on the growth opportunities brought by the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
We opened our doors in India back in 2017, basing our head office in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex - the financial heart of India. We’re one of the only UAE-based banks with a strong presence across India with plans for significant continued expansion. We offer corporate banking services to our Indian clients, focusing on trade finance, treasury, working capital, bilateral and syndicated loans, and supporting Non-Resident Indians with cross-border wealth management solutions, direct remits and similar banking solutions.
We established our Asia Pacific representative office in Singapore in November 2006. Today, Singapore’s reputation as an internationally renowned wealth hub makes it an attractive destination for GCC-based clients seeking geographic diversification. Our head office is located in Singapore’s financial district with our team enjoying sweeping views of Marina Bay. We offer our Singaporean clients private, corporate and treasury banking services.
Our London international office in iconic Knightsbridge is one of our oldest, established in 1986. We offer private banking, investment management and real estate advisory services, especially to GCC nationals either living in or traveling to the United Kingdom. We also offer corporate and institutional banking, where our relationship management teams focus on supporting trade and capital flows within the MENAT region.
We established our Chinese representative office in 2012 given the strengthening UAE-China ties that continue today. Our Indonesia representative office plays an important role in providing on-the-ground business and economic insights to the rest of the network.
