Dubai: Emirates NBD opened its first branch in the Saudi Arabian city of Khobar, expanding its presence in the Kingdom.

The opening places Emirates NBD’s operations in Saudi Arabia in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Khobar. It comes as the bank builds on growing economic and trade ties between the UAE and Saudi Arabia, especially amid the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.

Outside the UAE, Emirates NBD also operates in Egypt, India, Singapore, and the UK, with representative offices in China and Indonesia.
