Commercial Bank of Dubai became the first bank in the UAE to go fully live with Open Finance under the Central Bank of the UAE’s supervision, marking the transition from pilot programs to nationwide implementation. By integrating with licensed third-party providers and operating on Nebras, CBD enables consent-based data sharing and payment initiation at scale, signaling the regulatory and technical readiness of the ecosystem. This positions CBD at the core of the UAE’s emerging open financial architecture, creating a platform for new data-driven products, higher customer control, and accelerated fintech adoption across the market.
