Just because we’re social distancing it doesn’t mean that fraudsters are keeping their distance. In fact, this is a time when fraudsters look to prey on perceived fears. In this sixth and final episode of season two of Creating Opportunities, Emirates NBD's Head of Operational Risk, Bjorn Lenzmann tells us how to be confident that that our money is safe and secure when we're banking online.

Creating Opportunities

Banking securely while banking from home

Since we’re all social distancing as much as we can right now, in episode five we discuss how to stay safe by going contactless during Covid-19. Emirates NBD’s Head of Cards, Deepakchandran R (the man we affectionately know as ‘DC’) is back once again to discuss the ins and outs of contactless payments, the merits of contactless banking and why it always pays to stay safe.   www.emiratesnbd.com

Why it pays to go contactless

What’s the message from Emirates NBD as a financial institution when it comes to looking after and getting the most from our money in times like these? For episode four, the bank’s Chief Investment Officer, Maurice Gravier, discusses what we can all do to deal with financial difficulty and, looking to the future, what coronavirus might mean when it comes to attitudes to saving and investing?   www.emiratesnbd.com

Preparing financially during uncertain times

A pandemic like the coronavirus is uncharted territory. Traditional crisis communications playbooks don’t apply - Covid-19 is anything but ‘traditional’. At times like these, when so much has changed for so many, communication is more important than ever. In this episode, Emirates NBD’s Group Marketing Chief Moadh Bukhash tells us how he approached this responsibility.   www.emiratesnbd.com 

Talking to customers, staff and the community in a pandemic

Eman AbdulRazzaq, Emirates NBD's new Group Chief Human Resource Officer shares her experiences and employee well-being stories for episode two. From physical and mental health initiatives, to eating plans and team-building exercises. From counselling staff with increased ‘life stress’ to dealing with the IT demands of remote working and virtual meetings. She also explains what working from home really means - particularly when family just have to get involved!   www.emiratesnbd.com
