Emirates NBD, the largest bank in the United Arab Emirates, has announced the launch of SkyShopper – an online marketplace for its customers.

The new platform enables credit and debit card customers to shop and pay for purchases, ranging from flights and hotels to entertainment and groceries from different retailers – using one consolidated checkout.

Emirates NBD has partnered with prominent retailers to offer its customers a wide variety of products and services along with a seamless and safe shopping experience. SkyShopper’s current partners include the popular travel booking sites Cleartrip and Musafir, leading fashion and lifestyle portal Namshi and electronics stores such as Axiom, Jumbo and Sharaf DG.

In addition, customers will also be able to shop at international online stores with delivery to the UAE consolidated and routed through a US shipping address (MyUS.com) and at My Smart Price (MSP) India with delivery anywhere in India. New partnerships in the pipeline include Booking.com, The Luxury Closet, 6th STREET.COM and Headout.

Suvo Sarkar, senior executive vice president and group head of retail banking and wealth management at Emirates NBD, said: “The launch of SkyShopper is to enrich the shopping experience and provide added value to Emirates NBD customers who are increasingly making online purchases.


“Despite its rapid growth, the UAE’s e-commerce sector continues to be based largely on cash on delivery. SkyShopper is uniquely positioned to change that by providing customers the security and convenience of purchasing everything from airline tickets to mobile phones and luxury items to groceries via Emirates NBD’s trusted payment platform, in addition to exclusive deals and promotions.”
