CBD Profile
Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD) was established in 1969 by an Emiri Decree issued by His Highness, the late Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum. The bank started out as a joint venture between Commerzbank, Chase Manhattan Bank, and the Commercial Bank of Kuwait, with a minority stake held by a few UAE businessmen.
In 1982, CBD reached a major milestone when it transformed into a national shareholding company, with a major operational restructuring and an increase in capital base. This represented a major turning point in the bank’s history, when the government of Dubai became a majority shareholder.
