Emirates NBD wins four Asian Banker awards

DUBAI, May 14, 2019

Emirates NBD, a leading financial institution in the UAE, has bagged four prestigious titles at The Asian Banker's International Excellence in Retail Financial Services 2019 Awards held in Dubai recently.
The bank was named ‘Best Retail Bank in the Middle East’ and ‘Best Retail Bank in the UAE’, in recognition of the various milestones achieved by the retail banking division in 2018. Liv., Emirates NBD’s mobile-only bank for millennials, was named the ‘Best Digital Bank in the Middle East’. Further, the bank’s ‘U By Emaar’ Visa Credit Card, a rewarding card programme launched last year, was recognised as the ‘Credit Card Product of the Year’.
 
The bank’s retail banking division registered robust growth in revenues and profits in 2018, gaining market share across key retail products and segments. Several product innovations were rolled out over the course of the year, such as the Emirates NBD Skywards Savings Account and Debit Card program, offering customers reward miles based on spends, travel and lifestyle benefits. The Family Savings Account was launched for UAE national customers, enabling Emirati families to consolidate their banking relationships and benefit from preferential interest rates and privileges, said a statement from the bank.
 
Suvo Sarkar, senior executive vice president and head - Retail Banking & Wealth Management, Emirates NBD, said: “Emirates NBD is immensely honoured to be recognised, for the third year in a row as the best retail bank in the region at the prestigious Asian Banker awards. We are also delighted to receive awards for the best digital bank in the region for Liv. for the second consecutive year as well as for our newly launched Emirates NBD U By Emaar credit card that has received an overwhelming response from customers. This is a recognition of our ongoing commitment to make banking simple, hassle-free and easily accessible for our customers.”
 
In the two years since launch, Liv. has become the fastest growing bank in the UAE, acquiring over 10,000 new customers every month and recently crossing the 225,000-customer mark. The Emirates NBD U By Emaar card allows customers to earn and redeem loyalty points instantly at over 1,500 Emaar touchpoints across hotels, restaurants and leisure assets of Emaar Hospitality Group and Emaar Entertainment as well as at Emaar Malls merchants, said the statement. –TradeArabia News Services
