A new visual identity for our national currency on the global stage.
We are excited to announce a significant development from the Central Bank of the UAE: the introduction of a new, distinct currency symbol for the UAE Dirham (). This important step is designed to give our national currency a unique visual identity and further enhance its recognition on the global stage.
This change is primarily symbolic and will be implemented gradually. Over the coming weeks and months, you will begin to see the new symbol appearing across all banking materials, including:
It is important to emphasize that this transition is purely about the symbol. It will not affect the value of your currency, your account balances, or the security of your transactions in any way. All financial operations will continue as usual.
You do not need to take any action regarding this change. We are committed to ensuring a smooth and seamless transition for all our customers.
We believe this new symbol is a proud representation of the UAE Dirham’s standing.
