Case Study: Emirates NBD achieves faster digital banking innovation with GitHub

Emirates NBD delivers cutting-edge digital banking with GitHub Copilot

Emirates NBD, a leading banking group in the MENAT region, was looking to accelerate its digital transformation and unite developers on a single cloud-native platform. To support its “Leap” initiative and improve innovation, the bank chose GitHub, including GitHub Copilot and GitHub Enterprise Cloud.

GitHub helped Emirates NBD streamline development, improve collaboration, and speed up delivery across its engineering teams. With GitHub Copilot, productivity in complex tasks rose by up to 20% and code quality improved by 20%, while deployments doubled month over month; GitHub Enterprise Cloud also helped the bank become the largest GitHub user base in the Middle East, with over 800 active developers.
