SPOT POLL

Do you think there are too many banks in the UAE?

Yes, there aren’t enough people to support them all, so there should be some mergers.
No, you need to have smaller banks, especially post financial crisis.
No, banks from certain countries, like India with a huge expat population here, are under represented.
Who cares, the service is terrible wherever you go.
