Competing with top banking performers in emerging markets in the Middle East and Africa, NBD was chosen as the Best Bank in UAE. The criteria for choosing the best banks included product innovation, competitive pricing, profitability, strategic relationships, customer service and asset growth, according to a press release.
"This award is testament to our ongoing commitment to provide our customers with world-class banking services," said R. Douglas Dowie, CEO, National Bank of Dubai. 'However, this award would not have been possible if not for the dedication and loyalty of all NBD staff and customers for which we thank them'.
according to WAM, award winners were selected based on information from Global Finance editors, industry analysts, corporate executives and banking consultants.
