Introduction[edit]

EIF was founded in 1983 to cater to the human resources development needs of the UAE Banking sector.

In 1990, the Banking Diploma Program was introduced and delivered exclusively by EIBFS. Since its inception in 1990, 442 students have graduated from the program. Most are working in the banking sector and several are holding senior positions.

In 1996, the EIF took a step forward by signing an agreement with The Institute of Canadian Bankers, Montreal, Canada. This agreement formed the basis of cooperation for offering The Higher Banking Diploma Program. Since its inception in 1997, 60 students have graduated from the program to which most are working in the banking sector and many are holding senior positions.[citation needed]

EIF officially launched "Banking and Finance UAE" Magazine in December 2003. "Banking and Finance UAE" is a once a year publication that covers a wide range of topics likes finance, banking, IT applications; Global banking; human resources management, risk management, Basel Accord, and Islamic banking & finance. The magazine aims to provide executives with the information required to keep them up to date with the rapid changes taking place within their industry. The magazine is the first of its kind in the United Arab Emirates; it covers one of the most important sectors in the UAE’s promising economy - the banking and financial sector. Since its first issue, the Magazine has steadily grown in recognition and credibility to become one of the UAE’s most reputed publications. The magazine was issued following a thorough study, which showed the market needed a magazine specialized in both banking and financial sectors. Banking and Finance was issued to serve these two broad sectors, which have a broad base of readers' community.[2]
