Banking and Finance Jobs in Dubai

Operations and services offered by banks in Dubai are no different than those offered by banks in other countries. There are in fact, branches of foreign banks throughout the UAE, in addition to Dubai’s array of local and national banks. Perhaps the only difference in Dubai banking operations is that they follow the Muslim work week (Sunday through Thursday) and implement provisions of the Sharia Law, especially pertaining to interests and borrowings.

Dubai banks offer expanded services, much like US or European banks and directly compete with various financial services companies on each of these service offerings. In fact the Dubai banking and financial services is saturated with financial institutions offering practically the quasi-banking services that the only significant difference between a bank and a non-bank financial institution is that banks are the only institutions offering traditional deposit accounts. Non-banks do not offer Checking/Saving Accounts (CASA).

Having said that, banking jobs in Dubai relate closely to finance jobs. Especially if employers are banks or investment companies or otherwise offering quasi-banking and finance services, people with extensive experience in the banking industry are prized assets in the financial services industry as well.
