Dubai, UAE, 2 October, 2025 – Emirates NBD Securities, a subsidiary of Emirates NBD, a leading banking group in the Middle East, North Africa and Türkiye (MENAT) region, announced the launch of its expanded trading services to give investors direct access to leading financial markets across the GCC.

Through its advanced digital trading platforms and fully integrated banking and brokerage services, Emirates NBD Securities, already active on Dubai Financial Market (DFM), Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and Saudi Exchange, is now expanding its services to key markets in Oman, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain.

This expansion gives investors a single, seamless entry point into some of the region’s most active exchanges at a time when the Gulf’s capital markets are gaining significant traction. Economic diversification initiatives, regulatory enhancements, and the easing of foreign ownership restrictions are creating new opportunities and drawing strong interest from both local and international investors. Gulf IPO activity has also remained resilient, which has boosted liquidity and broadened participation, making cross-border investment more accessible than ever.

As one of the UAE’s top three brokers by trading volumes, Emirates NBD Securities brings proven expertise to this wider platform, backed by Emirates NBD Group’s financial strength and regional scale.

Ahmed Al Qassim, Group Head of Wholesale Banking, Emirates NBD, said: “Capital markets in the GCC are opening new possibilities for investors. By expanding access through one platform, Emirates NBD Securities is making it simpler for our clients to tap into these opportunities. Being the UAE’s only bank-backed broker to offer full GCC access sets us apart and gives clients confidence that their investments are supported by one of the region’s strongest financial institutions.”

Hessa Al Mulla, General Manager, Emirates NBD Securities, added: “Individuals and institutions alike want choice, convenience and ease when trading across borders. With this expansion, they can reach every major market in the GCC through a single app and a dedicated brokerage team. Few providers can match this breadth, and we are proud to extend it while continuing to rank among the UAE’s leading brokers.”
