Dubai - Commercial Bank International (CBI), a corporate and retail bank headquartered in Dubai, is the first bank to recruit a UAE national via Metaverse.

CBI conducted formal interviews in their Metaverse location, which led to the recruitment of an Emirati employee by the Bank. This is the first of its kind in the world, said the company.

We are extremely proud to be the first ever bank in the world to complete candidate recruitment through the Metaverse environment.
