Brokerage Merger or EIS and NBDS
We are pleased to
announce the successful
merger between Emirates
International Securities
LLC (EIS) and NBD
Securities LLC (NBDS) on
21/11/09. Despite the
challenges of
synchronizing the
brokerage merger with
the Finacle integration,
the activity was
completed smoothly on
the scheduled date. The consolidated entity
will account for more
than 43,000 clients
emerging as the largest UAE based retail
brokerage firm securing
the top most ranking in
Dubai Financial Market
in terms of market
share.
The integration of two
brokerage institutions
which is a path breaking
event in brokerage
mergers in UAE was
achieved despite the
constraints encountered
due to the inadequacy of
clear
statutory/regulatory
provisions that governed
this scale of
operational integration.
The integration is
largely attributed to
the far-sighted vision
of the Senior Management
within the Group. The
sharing of common work
environment and cultural
integration between EIS
and NBDS prior to the
actual merger has paved
the way for smooth
transition.
Mr. Hamood Al Yasi,
General Manager of the
merged entity Emirates
NBD Securities expressed
his gratitude to all
those who contributed to
the successful
completion of the
merger, which was a part
of the Corporate vision
of the Bank. He also
promised that the merger
would lead to wider
offering for the
customers and
introduction of new
products and wider
avenues of investment.
Thank you.
