DIB
Established on 1975, Dubai Islamic Bank is considered to be the first Islamic bank in the world that has implemented the principles of Islam in all its practices. It was founded with the active assistance of the UAE Government, the Central Bank and the people of the UAE. The economic and business philosophy of Islam encourages generation and sharing of profits. However, it forbids giving or taking of interest. Leveraging the strengths of Islamic business and economic concepts on one hand and state-of-the-art banking technology on the other, DIB creates partnerships with its customers to generate profits, which are then shared with them. DIB has created a vast array of Islamic banking and finance products to suit every conceivable need of its customer.

DIB training
The bank provides a series of career development programmes for national staff in which international and local institutions participate. It has also signed agreements with consultancy companies that evaluate employees and applicants abilities to build on strengths and eliminate weaknesses so that national staff will be able to meet the requirements of the bank.

The Human Resources Development Award in the banking sector
The award aims to reward and appreciate the initiatives taken by banks and financial institutions to build on the talent of UAE youth and enhance their contribution to the rapid economic growth of the country.
