Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) – Introduction and background

Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB) is the world’s first full-service Islamic bank, the largest Islamic bank in the UAE by assets, and one of the most significant Sharia-compliant financial institutions globally, servicing retail, corporate and institutional clients.

Established by decree in 1975, DIB uses Islamic contracts to ensure it remains Sharia-compliant according to industry standard-setting authorities such as the IFSB. Offering different products and contracts to traditional interest-based banking, DIB pioneered many Islamic banking practices and continued to grow organically and by acquisition. In 2013 DIB acquired Tamweel, the UAE’s largest home finance provider and Noor Bank in 2020. DIB manages assets in excess of USD 90 billion and operates approximately 500 branches across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.

Dubai Islamic Bank has been listed on the Dubai Financial Market (DFM) since the DFM launched in 2000, trading under the ticker symbol DIB. With a market capitalisation exceeding USD 19 billion, DIB is one of the most heavily traded stocks in the GCC.

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
