To date, it is one of the banks having a network of branches all over UAE with a wide array of products and services that can compete with any other financial institution in the banking industry.

The History

In the beginning, Commercial Bank of Dubai was a joint venture of Commercial Bank of Kuwait, Chase Manhattan Bank, and Commerzbank. There was only a minority share held by a limited number of UAE businessmen. The year was 1969 and the founder of Modern Dubai, His Highness the late Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, issued an Emiri Decree that would lay the foundations of the bank as it is to be known today.

The bank saw more success when it became a National Public Shareholding company in n1982. It was gaining such growth that the Government of Dubai became one of its key shareholders. Throughout the years, it developed into a modern and progressive banking institution with loyal clients and excellently performing management as well as firm financial base.

They offer such solutions as overdraft facilities, term loans, contract financing, working capital loans, bill discounting facilities, contracting and construction as well as asset-based financing facilities, and trust receipt facilities in order for the bank's corporate clients to take full advantage of its potentials.
