RIYADH / WAM
Emirates NBD announced plans for further expansion in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia following approval from the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority, SAMA, to open 20 additional branches in the Kingdom.
The announcement reflects KSA’s growing importance to Dubai’s biggest bank by assets as the United Arab Emirates continues to strengthen long-standing strategic and economic ties with the Kingdom.
Emirates NBD currently operates four full-fledged bra-nches across the Kingdom’s key regions with two branches in Riyadh, a branch in Jeddah and in the Eastern province in Khobar, providing a full offering to Saudi-based individual and businesses, including retail, private, business and wholesale banking. KSA marks the bank’s largest geographical presence outside its significant network in the UAE and Egypt.
