Emirates NBD has launched Emirates NBD-branded silver bars, expanding its precious metals portfolio in response to growing customer demand for diversified and non-correlated investment options.
This new offering expands the bank’s comprehensive precious metals services, building on the success of the launch of ‘Emirates NBD Gold’ in December 2025, which marked the UAE’s first bank-branded gold bar for investors.
The introduction of branded silver bars marks the next phase of the bank’s precious metals strategy, widening participation in the sector and consolidating its role as a regional leader in bank-backed precious metal products.
Emirates NBD Silver Bars: Meeting Rising Demand for Alternative Assets
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. Produced to internationally recognized standards, the bars are available in high-purity silver (999.0 and 999.9) and bear the bank’s hallmark, ensuring authenticity and quality.
The silver bars complement the bank’s existing gold proposition and reflect rising demand for alternative asset classes among both retail and HNI clients in the UAE. Available through designated Emirates NBD channels, the offering provides transparent pricing linked to international silver benchmarks, secure sourcing with verified purity standards, bank-backed certification, and a seamless digital client journey.

“The launch of our Physical Silver Business cements our position as a leader in the commodities space. By mirroring the rigorous standards and seamless infrastructure of our successful gold business, we are now offering our clients a multi-asset physical platform. 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.”
The initiative comes as the silver price has recently demonstrated strong market momentum fueled by its appeal as a safe-haven asset.
Ammar Al Haj, Group Treasurer and Head of Global Markets at Emirates NBD, said that, “With the launch of Emirates NBD-branded silver bars, we have broadened our precious metal offering for retail and HNI clients.”
“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,” Al Haj added.
