WhatsApp quoteEmirates Islamic is the Islamic banking arm of the Emirates NBD group, combining Sharia compliance with the group's digital platform, and it is one of the banks GoldenKey regularly introduces new companies to. Emirates Islamic suits businesses that want Islamic banking backed by a large banking group, and its product range includes business account, Islamic trade finance, corporate cards and payroll. On the ground, event companies operate comfortably from free zones, but each public event still needs a permit from the emirate's tourism or events authority and, for large gatherings, civil defence approval. In short, typical examples of this activity include exhibition organiser, wedding planner, conference management and brand activations, which can usually sit together on one Emirates Islamic licence.
