Emirates NBD has introduced a temporary Business Support Package aimed at helping small and medium-sized enterprises navigate operational and financial challenges amid evolving regional conditions.
The initiative offers a series of fee-relief measures designed to ease day-to-day business costs over the coming months. It comes as part of broader efforts across the UAE to reinforce economic stability and sustain business confidence.
Under the package, the bank will waive several common fees, including loan deferment charges, cheque return fees linked to cash flow disruptions, and business debit card replacement costs. SMEs will also benefit from waived ATM withdrawal fees across the UAE and GCC, along with free international courier services for business card deliveries.
In addition, Emirates NBD is offering a 30 percent discount on trade finance services such as letters of credit and guarantees, alongside a 40 percent reduction in Cash Management service fees.
Hamad Mohamed Zayed, Group Head of Business Banking at Emirates NBD, said the initiative reflects the bank’s focus on supporting SMEs with greater flexibility during a critical period. He noted that the package is designed to strengthen business resilience while maintaining seamless and secure banking services.
The move aligns with recent government-led measures, including a AED 1 billion economic support initiative introduced by the Dubai Government. It also complements the Financial Institution Resilience Package rolled out by the Central Bank of the UAE to bolster the country’s banking sector.
Together, these efforts underscore a coordinated push to enhance economic readiness and sustain growth momentum across the UAE.
