Emirates NBD now has two registered End-of-Service Benefits (EOSB) funds listed on the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) register of public funds:
- Emirates NBD EOSB Money Market Fund
- Emirates NBD EOSB Islamic Money Market Fund
The registration of the two funds follows the bank's October 2025 announcement of a partnership with Fidelity International in relation to the UAE EOSB Savings Scheme and further confirms its intended participation in the growing EOSB market.
Details for both funds are also now visible on Bloomberg, suggesting that the fund registration process has been completed.
As of today, Emirates NBD is not yet reflected on the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation's approved EOSB provider panel, meaning final approvals may still be pending before the bank can begin operating the scheme.
Nevertheless, the registration of the two funds is a welcome development that will bring greater fund choice to the UAE EOSB Savings Scheme for employers and employees. As additional providers enter the market, employers and employees can expect greater choice across investment options, service models and provider offerings.
The continued expansion of the provider market is also a sign that the industry is preparing for the long-term growth of workplace savings in the UAE.
