Buy, Sell Gold Online: Emirates Islamic Launches UAE’s First Digital Investment Service

Emirates Islamic has unveiled a groundbreaking digital investment service that allows users to buy and sell gold and silver online through its EI+ mobile banking app. This marks the first Shariah-compliant digital precious metals investment platform offered by an Islamic bank in the UAE.

The service enables customers to invest in certified physical gold and silver bars, which are securely stored in high-security vaults. Users can start with a low minimum investment and manage their holdings directly from their smartphones via the app’s ā€œWealthā€ section.

One of the key highlights of the platform is its flexibility—customers can buy, sell, or redeem their investments at any time, including options for partial cash withdrawal or physical delivery of metals.

The gold offered meets international standards such as the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and Dubai Good Delivery (DGD), ensuring quality and authenticity. The service is designed to help investors diversify their portfolios while using gold and silver as a hedge against inflation.

Officials at Emirates Islamic said the launch reflects the bank’s commitment to digital innovation in ethical wealth management, making investment opportunities more accessible while adhering to Islamic finance principles.

The move also highlights the UAE’s growing focus on fintech and digital banking solutions, as financial institutions continue to expand services that combine convenience, security, and investment flexibility.
