UAE salaries: which banking jobs are in demand and how much do they pay? – The National

The hiring outlook for the UAE’s banking and financial services industry is buoyant as it continues to recover from Covid-19 headwinds on the back of economic support measures including the Targeted Economic Support Scheme (Tess) and government initiatives such as expansion of the Golden Visa programme.

There is healthy demand for technology positions and roles in digital banking in the UAE as traditional lenders hasten the shift to online services, says Waleed Anwar, managing director of Dubai-based recruitment company Upfront HR.

“New digital banks also require a lot of tech talent. Roles in anti-money laundering, mergers and acquisitions are also trending,” Mr Anwar says.
