Accounts & headline costs
Sections ↑Emirates NBD Securities is a UAE securities broker integrated with Emirates NBD banking and cash-transfer services. It provides access to UAE markets and selected regional markets through web, mobile and assisted channels. The fee basis is market-specific: a single “brokerage rate” does not capture exchange, clearing, regulator, VAT, custody and transfer charges.[6][1][7]

Fees & holding costs
Sections ↑Pricing & charges05
Market-specific costs
| Item | Published amount | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Tadawul trading | 0.1306% plus VAT under current calculator | Use the calculator for the actual market and order.Source 1 |
| Nasdaq Dubai | Broker, exchange and clearing components under the market page | Currency and security type affect the final charge.Source 2 |
| Requested statement | AED 10.50 | Administrative service charge.Source 1 |
| Specified transfer service | AED 10.50 | Other depository, market and line charges can remain.Source 1 |
Pricing & charges06
Rewards do not reduce every charge
| Feature | Current programme treatment | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Earning online | 7.5%–20% of eligible broker commission by tier | Exchange, regulator, VAT and other charges are not converted into points.Source 3 |
| Earning offline | 5%–15% of eligible broker commission by tier | Lower stated percentage than online.Source 3 |
| Point value | AED 1 of future purchasing power per point under programme terms | Not withdrawable cash or a deposit balance.Source 4 |
| Expiry | 24 months | Unused points can lapse; minimum redemption is 200.Source 3Source 4 |
At a 0.1306% Tadawul charge, a SAR 100,000 transaction produces SAR 130.60 before VAT. The market-specific calculator, order side and current VAT treatment should be used for the actual trade; this is only arithmetic on the published percentage.[1]
Execution & trading rules
Sections ↑Specifications07
Order and market controls
| Issue | Published position | Practical consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Market session | Orders execute only in the selected market’s supported session | A queued instruction is not continuous trading.Source 2 |
| Market-specific account | DFM/ADX/Nasdaq Dubai/Tadawul identifiers and cash arrangements differ | One activated market does not establish another.Source 7Source 1 |
| Currency | Nasdaq Dubai and regional markets can settle in different currencies | Conversion and bank-transfer economics can be separate from brokerage.Source 2Source 7 |
| Assisted order | Dealer route under published service controls | Confirm commission and order status before duplicating a failed digital request.Source 8 |
A market order, limit order and queued order carry different price and non-execution risk. The live ticket and market rules govern the final instruction; the public fee calculator does not prove execution quality.[6][2]
Deposits, withdrawals & transfers
Sections ↑Transfer terms08
Cash movement
| Stage | Published route | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Fund account | Use linked banking and market-account instructions | Third-party funding and wrong-currency transfers can be rejected or delayed.Source 7 |

| Withdraw cash | Use the authenticated brokerage/bank route after settlement | Security, lien or pending-order controls can restrict available cash.Source 7 |
| Transfer securities | Use the market/depository process and current tariff | A line transfer is not the same as withdrawing sale proceeds.Source 1 |
