Critical Dependencies
A Dubai-listed private/investment bank founded in 1976 as Arab Emirates Investment Bank, majority-owned (92.39%) by Al Futtaim Private Company LLC, the holding vehicle of one of the UAE's most established family conglomerates — giving EIB the stability and long-term strategic backing of a single, deeply-resourced anchor shareholder. It operates across two segments: Investments (managing the bank's own portfolio and treasury services) and Banking Services (client portfolio management, credit facilities, deposits, wealth planning and advisory).
