Emirates NBD offers free Uber rides this Ramadan

Dubai's leading bank Emirates NBD has joined hands with Uber, the US-based taxi-hailing service, to offer cardholders free rides during the holy month of Ramadan.

The bank said in a statement that cardholders will get free rides during the holy month as part of it efforts to give meaningful benefits to its growing number of mobile-savvy customers.

Cardholders will be privy to complimentary rides from Uber from 6-9pm on the weekends (Thursday – Saturday) during Ramadan. Additionally, new users registering on Uber’s app with their Emirates NBD debit or credit cards will receive two extra free rides that will be valid across Ramadan, it added.

Suvo Sarkar, Senior Executive Vice President & Group Head – Retail Banking and Wealth Management, Emirates NBD said: “We are very happy to offer our valued customers a token of appreciation in the spirit of Ramadan. Emirates NBD and Uber have successfully collaborated in the past to add great value to the residents of the UAE and we are positive that this campaign will bring a lot of happiness to our customers.”

Christopher Free, General Manager, Uber UAE, said: “As consumers demand more from their personal technology applications, it is increasingly important for organisations to work together in order to provide more innovative offerings. Our partnership with Emirates NBD is a great example of how we can bring two industries together to offer even more convenience to consumers,”
