We expect 25 to 30 per cent of our customer base in the UAE to take advantage of this unique offering.”

The venture in the credit card space is in line with Emirates Money’s strategy for market dominance in the SME and Micro SME segments. Since its inception in 2008, Emirates Money has given more than 25,000 loans worth Dh7 billion.
