Emirates NBD has announced a significant upgrade to its Margin Trading Facility, now enabling eligible clients to digitally apply for a credit limit up to $2.7 million (AED 10 million) to substantially increase their purchasing power for equity trading.
Margin trading allows investors to boost their purchasing power by borrowing against the value of their existing investment portfolios, rather than selling their holdings.
While the service is a well-established investment tool in financial markets, the latest enhancement introduces a more streamlined digital application process designed to improve accessibility and efficiency for clients.
The upgraded process is expected to deliver faster turnaround times, enabling investors to respond more quickly to market fluctuations and take advantage of time-sensitive trading opportunities.

This upgrade demonstrates Emirates NBD’s commitment to supporting market development and delivering solutions that meet investors’ changing needs.”
According to the statement, the latest initiative builds on Emirates NBD’s existing margin trading solutions, enabling eligible clients to secure higher trading limits and execute trades on a real-time basis. With this enhancement, Emirates NBD continues to reinforce its commitment to providing clients with flexible, timely and digitally enabled investment solutions amid dynamic market conditions.
Marwan Hadi, Group Head of Retail Banking and Wealth Management, Emirates NBD, said that, “We are pleased to enhance our margin trading offering, giving clients greater flexibility to access investment opportunities through a seamless digital experience.
