Investors can now access up to AED 10 million in financing with seamless, real-time trading of UAE and KSA-listed equities
Offering provides a fully digital solution, empowering investors to maximise opportunities through sophisticated leverage-based trading

Dubai, UAE, 24 June 2026: Emirates NBD, a leading banking group in the Middle East, North Africa and Türkiye (MENAT) region, announced a significant upgrade to its Margin Trading Facility, now enabling eligible clients to digitally apply for a credit limit up to AED 10 million to substantially increase their purchasing power for equity trading.

Margin trading enables investors to increase their buying power by borrowing against their portfolios instead of liquidating existing holdings. While the service remains an established investment offering, this enhancement introduces a streamlined digital application process with an attractive turnaround time, empowering clients to respond more efficiently to market movements and capture time-sensitive opportunities.

The latest initiative builds on Emirates NBD's existing margin trading solutions, enabling eligible clients to secure higher trading limits and execute trades on a real-time basis. With this enhancement, Emirates NBD continues to refinforce its commitment to providing clients with flexible, timely and digitally enabled investment solutions amid dynamic market conditions.

The launch comes amid strong momentum in the UAE’s stock markets. In 2025, the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) rose around 17% and the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) gained 6%, supported by strong IPO activity, abundant liquidity and continued investor confidence. Emirates NBD's own margin trading book increased by 100% in 2025, reflecting heightened demand for timely and easily accessible leverage solutions.

Ahmed Al Qassim, Group Head of Wholesale Banking, Emirates NBD, said: “The UAE’s capital markets continue to deepen and evolve, and investors are seeking tools that enable them to participate more effectively. Our fully digital margin trading facility gives clients greater buying power through a secure, intuitive and responsive platform. This upgrade demonstrates Emirates NBD’s commitment to supporting market development and delivering solutions that meet investors’ changing needs.”

By delivering a fully digital facility of this scale and speed, Emirates NBD is providing investors with best-in-class services and enhancing its competitive edge, positioning it alongside other global and regional brokers. This development also reflects Emirates NBD’s continued focus on digital innovation, operational efficiency and empowering investors with expedited funding, crucial for making well-informed investment decisions.

Marwan Hadi, Group Head of Retail Banking and Wealth Management, Emirates NBD, added: “We are pleased to enhance our margin trading offering, giving clients greater flexibility to access investment opportunities through a seamless digital experience. This solution supports active and high-net-worth clients by enabling more efficient portfolio management and broader market participation, all within the trusted Emirates NBD ecosystem.”
