Just 40 years ago, Dubai was simply a trading post at the mouth of the creek, without electricity, piped water or paved roads. As the finest natural creek in the Gulf, its trading history could be traced back almost 600 years. Fleets of merchant dhows lined its banks and sailed far and wide to earn rich rewards from their dealings in silk, spices, pearls and gold. But the discovery of oil, or black gold, was to launch Dubai to the future.
As the first oil platform was towed out to sea from the creek, the waters began to reflect more than ancient wind towers. The business that would create a city within a few years had begun to gather pace.
At this time of growing prosperity, a leading group of merchants including Ali Bin Abdullah Al Owais, the father of the late Chairman of the Bank, Sultan Ali Al Owais approached the Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, to discuss forming the first national bank. This played a vital role in developing Dubai into a leading business centre.

Emirates Islamic Bank was launched in 2004 to provide high quality Islamic banking services across the UAE. We offer a range of Shari’a compliant products and services conforming to the highest standards of Islamic finance and all our activities are overseen by a Shari’a board comprising several prestigious scholars of Islamic law.
Our desire to conform to all aspects of Shari’a means that we do things differently from conventional banks. We don’t charge or pay interest, and we seek to avoid uncertainty in our transactions. Instead of conventional credit facilities like loans and overdrafts, we use Islamic financing methods such as Murabaha, Ijarah and Salam. Instead of paying interest on savings accounts or investing our customer’s money in interest paying funds, we use Islamic profit-sharing structures and Islamic investment funds. Many of our products are different from those offered by other banks and you can always expect the highest levels of service from Emirates Islamic Bank.
