Emirates NBD on Thursday announced the launch of silver bars, expanding its precious metals portfolio in response to growing customer demand for diversified and non-correlated investment options.
Dubai’s largest bank said the new silver bars will be available in denominations of 100g, 250g, 500g and 1,000g, offering flexible access to physical silver for both retail and high-net-worth investors seeking a wider range of investment options. They are available in high-purity silver (999.0 and 999.9) and bear the Emirates NBD hallmark, ensuring authenticity and quality.

Companies are diversifying their offerings to increase their customer base and attract more investors.
Interestingly, silver prices rose more than 130 per cent last year – more than double gold prices, which gained over 60 per cent.
Therefore, investors’ interest is also growing due to the rising demand for silver.
In December 2025, the Dubai-based lender launched ‘Emirates NBD Gold’, the UAE’s first bank-branded gold bar for investors. Following its launch, ‘Emirates NBD Gold’ has already seen strong uptake, reinforcing Dubai’s position at the centre of regional bullion trading.
“As we see a shift toward hard assets globally, Emirates NBD is uniquely positioned to bridge the gap between wholesale market depth and retail accessibility, ensuring our clients have the most robust tools for wealth preservation,” said Ahmed Al Qassim, group head of wholesale banking at Emirates NBD.
“The new product will enable customers to invest in physical silver securely through a trusted banking institution. As demand for real assets continues to grow, silver has emerged as an effective diversification solution. This offering will be delivered with the scale, transparency, innovation and governance that define Emirates NBD,” said Ammar Al Haj, group treasurer and head of global markets at Emirates NBD.
