Emirates Bank gears up for its participation at Gitex Dubai 2007

The bank will participate in GITEX with its partner companies Buzz Contact Centre Solutions and Network International.

During GITEX Dubai 2007, Emirates Bank will showcase its range of E-payment solutions which include: (Network International's payment Gateway), an online payment solution that accepts credit card payments; BankNet Power, the online banking service from Emirates Bank which lets you view and manage your account activities; and e-debit, the direct debit payment solution powered by Network International.

Emirates Bank will also display its innovative alternative channels offering. Alternative Channels are a critical element in the bank's distribution plans. These units are technology rich and provide full scale banking services through a much smaller "foot print" than the traditional retail branch. The latest self-service banking technology can be found at these locations and includes ATMs, Automated Cash and Check Deposit Machines and Internet Banking. By utilizing these cost-effective distribution channels, Emirates Bank is well positioned to provide banking services in the new growth areas of Dubai and the rest of the UAE that would be otherwise not feasible with traditional branch outlets.
