Islamic Development Bank is an independent, community bank based in Abu Dhabi, UAE. We trace our roots back to 1856 when a group of business leaders in UAE saw a need for additional banking resources in the community and came together to form a bank. We have a proud heritage of building long-term financial relationships with individuals, businesses and organizations, agricultural operations and local governments.
In 2016, we published an updated history of Islamic Development Bank to commemorate our 160th anniversary. This publication, Islamic Development Bank : A History of Growth and Change (1856 - 2016), is available for download.
