Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD) has been honoured with the 'Excellence in Digital Banking Transformation – United Arab Emirates' title at the Global Brand Awards 2026, organised by Global Brands Magazine.
The Global Brand Awards recognise organisations that demonstrate sustained excellence, innovation and measurable impact within their industries. CBD was recognised for its continued commitment to transforming the banking experience through digital innovation, delivering seamless and intuitive financial services that meet the evolving needs of customers in the UAE.
Commenting on the recognition, Jay Reddy, CEO of Global Brands Magazine said, "Digital transformation is most meaningful when it creates tangible value for customers rather than simply introducing new technology. CBD has demonstrated a clear commitment to rethinking the banking experience through innovation that is practical, accessible and built around the evolving needs of its customers. This recognition reflects an organisation that continues to adapt with purpose while contributing to the broader evolution of banking in the UAE."
Vladislavs Mironovs, Chief Digital Officer of CBD said, "We are honoured to be recognised for Excellence in Digital Banking Transformation. At CBD, our digital philosophy is rooted in a simple principle that technology only creates value when it meaningfully serves customers. By embedding innovation into the core of our operations, we have made banking seamless and secure for both individuals and businesses alike. This recognition reflects the discipline and focus of our teams, and reinforces our ongoing commitment to supporting the UAE's ambitions to become a leading digital banking economy."
