Emirates Bank, the UAE’s leading retail bank, puts itself forward for the second consecutive year as one of the main sponsors of the Global Village. With ATM machines and a Cash & Deposit machine strategically positioned in the Global Village vicinity, Emirates Bank’s banking services are conveniently and readily available to both customers and retailers in the area.
Emirates Bank is also the only local bank that participates as key sponsor to the Dubai Shopping Festival and has done so since its inception. This reflects Emirates Bank’s relentless efforts to be the leader in the financial services industry in the UAE and the region.
Mr. Louis Scotto, Emirates Bank General Manager- Retail Banking commented on the announcement by saying, “Emirates Bank is very proud to be a main sponsor of the Global Village for the second consecutive year. We believe Global Village to be a prime event for our bank’s involvement. It is one of the richest cultural events in Dubai, gathering the people and cultures of the world and providing a fun, yet educational platform for its visitors. We are glad to be part of an event of such caliber and to be channeling our services to its visitors. We are also looking forward to the opening of an Emirates Branch there next year.”
Following the success of last year’s Global Village Emirates Bank branch, the bank is due to open a full-fledged permanent bank branch at the entrance of the Global Village in time for its 2007 event. With 6 ATM machine and 1 Cash and Deposit machine placed at prime locations throughout Global village, Emirates Bank hopes to meet all customers’ withdrawal needs.
