Showcasing your commitment to a greener future 

At Commercial Bank of Dubai, we’re committed to backing the UAE’s ambitions to plant 100 million mangrove trees by 2030 and achieving net zero emissions by 2050. That’s why we’re proud to launch the GreenGrowth Account - a savings account that not only helps you grow your finances but also contributes to a greener future for everyone.

An Account for a better tomorrow!
The GreenGrowth Account isn’t just about saving money - it’s about planting the seeds for a better tomorrow. It’s about making an impact on the environment while securing your financial future. When you open a GreenGrowth Account and maintain an average balance of AED 25,000 (for over 3 months), we’ll plant a mangrove tree on your behalf*. Mangroves prevent coastal erosion, enhance biodiversity, and help in absorbing carbon. 

So go ahead and grow your savings while we grow mangroves on your behalf.
