The Private Banking arm of Emirates NBD, a leading bank in the region, has won two major international awards for its outstanding performance and enhanced banking proposition in 2017. The bank was awarded ‘Best Private Wealth Bank in the UAE’ at The Asian Banker Private Wealth Awards 2017, Middle East and Africa and the ‘Outstanding Global Private Bank – Middle East’ award for the third consecutive year at the 2017 Private Banker International (PBI) Global Wealth Awards. PBI also commended the bank for their Outstanding NRI / Global Indians Offering for the second year in a row.

The awards are in recognition of the bank’s commitment to offering customers a superior private banking proposition comprising a comprehensive suite of bespoke investment advisory solutions, complemented by a personalized red-carpet banking experience. Following Emirates NBD’s commitment to the digitalization of its products, processes and services, the bank’s state-of-the-art digital platforms also allow customers to easily access their portfolios on online and mobile banking channels, enabling them to keep track of their holdings and monitor performance on the go. The bank also launched FaceBanking earlier this year, a pioneering video banking service that allows customers to speak to a bank advisor any time of day or night.
