Overview
The Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial studies is a national training and educational entity founded in 1983 to cater for the human resources development needs of the UAE banking sector.
The Banking Diploma Program introduced in 1990 was the first program in UAE to focus on helping aspiring and existing bankers to improve knowledge in banking operations and enhance their qualifications. With many of the graduates of the program employed in the banking sector today, this program continues to be among the foremost supported by bankers and banks. The majority of our 1031 graduates are employed in the banking sector, mostly holding senior positions.
