Scotiabank is the first Canadian bank to operate from The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).  ScotiaMocatta, the precious and base metals business line of Scotiabank, has operated in Dubai since 1998 through an alliance with National Bank of Dubai (NBD), providing gold loans and price hedging facilities to Dubai-based bullion traders, jewelers, manufactures and refiners.  In 2009, ScotiaMocatta opened up its own branch in the DIFC offering clients a broad range of precious and base metal products and services.

Through other areas of Scotiabank, we also offer a range of Cash Management and Trade Finance services.
