United Arab Emirates, Dubai, July 4th 2009- Priority Banking at Emirates NBD, the largest bank in terms of assets in the region, organized a networking event at the Regus Business Centre for highly placed professionals working in their business centre in Burjuman Business Towers.

The event's main focus was to increase awareness about the Emirates Bank branch and the Priority Centre located on the ground floor of the Burjuman Business Tower. The Priority Banking team from the Burjuman branch interacted with the guests on a one to one, personalized level, elaborating on the key products and privileges of Priority Banking and the various benefits and conveniences that are attainable through banking with Emirates NBD. The newly launched Emirates Bank Skywards Platinum and Infinite credit cards created quite a buzz over this event.

Mike Solimani Head Priority Banking commented on the event: "This initiative wouldn't have been possible without the ground support of Regus' team who facilitated the connection to the professionals working in their Business centre. Many of the attendees were new to the country and this function allowed us to gather first hand information about their specific banking needs and learn about their expectations. We are very pleased with the outcome of this partnership and look forward to the success of similar projects in the near future at the various Regus Centres in Dubai, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi."

The Priority Banking Centre within this branch was created with the objective of catering to the needs of busy professionals and businesses in the Business Towers. Mr. Patrick Gray, Area Director at Regus said, "We were very pleased to work in collaboration with Emirates NBD and we are delighted that everyone was so satisfied with the event. Attendees found it to be very helpful and informative. We anticipate many successful joint ventures with ENBD in the near future."
