Dubai Islamic Bank, the UAE’s largest shariah compliant bank, was named the ‘Strongest Islamic Retail Bank’ in the UAE at the recently held Islamic Retail Banking Awards.

Organised by Cambridge IF Analytica, the second Islamic Retail Banking Awards (IRBA) were held as part of the 8th Edition of the World Islamic Retail Banking Conference (WIRBC) in Dubai, UAE and commemorated the success and the contribution of  banks and financial institutions to the industry’s consumer banking and finance sector over the past year.

“A key driver of this growth has been the Bank’s customer centric approach that is embodied in our ‘Customer First’ program. We believe in combining our local heritage, tradition and inherent expertise with personal service and innovation to provide customers with multi-faceted solutions tailored to meet their financial needs.” – TradeArabia News Service
