Emirates NBD is broadening its precious metals offering with the launch of its own branded silver bars, providing UAE investors a new way to add physical silver to their portfolios. Available in sizes ranging from 100 grams to 1 kilogram, the bars cater to both newcomers and seasoned investors looking to diversify their assets with something tangible.
The move comes after strong demand for the bank’s branded gold bars, introduced last year. In a climate of global market uncertainty, more people in the UAE are turning to hard assets like silver and gold to preserve and grow their wealth.
Each Emirates NBD silver bar is produced to internationally recognized standards and stamped with the bank’s hallmark, guaranteeing both authenticity and purity. Prices are pegged to global silver benchmarks, giving buyers transparency and confidence that they’re getting a fair deal.
By offering a variety of weights—100g, 250g, 500g, and 1kg—the bank is making it easier for everyone, from first-time buyers to high net worth individuals, to invest in silver according to their needs.
Ahmed Al Qassim, Group Head of Wholesale Banking at Emirates NBD, said the launch “cements our position as a leader in the commodities space,” building on the success and infrastructure established by their gold business.
Silver’s appeal has grown recently, thanks to its dual role as a safe-haven asset and an essential industrial metal powering renewable energy, electric vehicles, and electronics. Ammar Al Haj, Group Treasurer and Head of Global Markets, explained that the new product meets changing investor preferences, with more clients looking beyond traditional stocks and bonds for diversification.
The bank’s certification and regulated framework offer additional peace of mind for buyers worried about authenticity and secure sourcing.
With the debut of these silver bars, Emirates NBD is positioning itself as a comprehensive platform for physical metals, giving UAE investors a secure, trusted, and convenient way to invest in silver and gold as part of their wealth preservation strategy.
