    We have come a long way since we started in 1998. Two decades into our leadership as a global investment group in the insurance and reinsurance field, our 550 strong team across 45 countries and three continents has far more to conquer.

    The year 2010 marked a turning point for our expansion, with the launch of Seib Insurance and that of the Chedid Insurance Brokers Network. In 2015, followed our entry into Africa with the acquisition of City Brokers, Mauritius and East Africa’s leading insurance broker.

    Another milestone for our vision to lead insurance brokerage in the Middle East and Africa was the 80% acquisition in 2021 of Ascoma’s (Ascoma Assureurs Conseils) leading brokerage business in Africa – a network of 21 subsidiaries and 780 people across 21 countries – that positioned our Group as a leader in Africa and the Middle East.

    In 1969, when we at Commercial Bank of Dubai started out little did we know that sheer grit and determination would get us where we are today. An Emiri Decree issued by His Highness the Late Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the founder of modern Dubai, laid the cornerstone of Commercial Bank of Dubai. We started out as a joint venture of Commerzbank, Chase Manhattan Bank and Commercial Bank of Kuwait. A minority stake was held by a few UAE businessmen.

    By 1982, little more than a decade later, we evolved into a National Public Shareholding company. A feat complimented by an exponential increase in the capital base and mammoth restructuring of our operations. The feather in the cap came when the Government of Dubai became a key shareholder.

    Over the decades, we have transformed ourselves into a progressive and modern banking institution. We are supported by a sturdy financial base and reigned by a strong and stable management. The proof of which lies with our customers who have stood by us over the years. More
