Disable alert for Emirates NBD, a leading bank in the region, announced the launch of an innovative savings product called ‘Shake n' Save,’ which allows customers to save between AED 50 and AED 2,000, by simply shaking their mobile device. The mobile savings account - the first of its kind in the region - encourages customers to save small amounts of money, by making it easier to access through mobile devices. “Emirates NBD is continuously on the lookout for ways to offer customers an enhanced banking experience through launching value added services in the digital banking space,” said Suvo Sarkar, General Manager – Retail Banking, Emirates NBD. “’Shake n' Save’ is a significant initiative in Emirates NBD’s on-going strategy to encourage customer migration to digital banking through greater use of mobile and online banking channels. It is also the first example of a combination of popular technology trends, gamification and financial services, positioning Emirates NBD at the forefront of banking innovation.” “With this product, we are offering our Mobile Banking Customers an innovative opportunity to save money while having some fun at the same time. This is also in line with the m-Government initiative announced by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, last year, to create and develop new mobile services in the UAE,” he added. According to recent figures from Google’s Mobile Planet, the UAE has the world's highest smartphone penetration rate in the first quarter of 2013, at 73.8%, higher than South Korea, Saudi Arabia and Singapore. Mobile internet usage penetration is also high at 73% compared to MENA and global figures at 41% and 51% respectively. With Emirates NBD digital banking transactions showing a strong growth, the bank sees a huge potential to offer customers an exclusive value-added savings product that is easily accessible through a mobile banking application. This product also fills a customer need through providing an opportunity for impulse saving as opposed to spending. According to the UAE Central Bank, the average resident in the UAE has no more than AED 10,000 in savings, and Emirates NBD hopes to tackle this phenomenon by making saving easier with the new ‘Shake n' Save’ product. “In a country where large disposable incomes and access to luxurious lifestyles are the norm, savings habits fall well below the global average,” said Pedro Cardoso, Head of Multichannel & Customer Relationship Management, Emirates NBD. “With this mobile banking product, which is the first of its kind in the region, young, financially independent people across the Emirates have access to an extremely flexible and hassle free method, where they can save money on the go. At Emirates NBD we want to change the way people view saving, and in a society which almost encourages impulse spending, we want to replace the thrill of spending with the thrill of saving.” “Now, customers can instantly open their ‘Shake n’ Save’ account just by using a mobile device and define their savings range preference. After that all they need to do is to shake their mobile device to save money and benefit from the special rates we offer,” he added. ![]() Emirates NBD’s mobile banking customers can download the Emirates NBD Mobile Banking App to set up the ‘Shake n' Save’ account and also pre-set a range between AED 50 and AED 2,000 as their own regular saving span.
