MultiBank aims to expand global footprint from UAE base MultiBank Group, a leading financial derivatives provider, aims to expand its global reach in 2025, and add new products to its portfolio, its founder said. “2023 was our most successful financial year to date, with a record-breaking revenue of $306,636,717. Additionally, our total assets are currently valued at over $580 million,” Naser Taher, Founder and Chairman of MultiBank Group, told Khaleej Times in an interview. This year has been a year of big achievements for MultiBank, Taher said. “We partnered with Mashreq to launch an API-enabled Instant Payment solution for corporate clients. This solution is fully integrated with the Central Bank of UAE’s Aani (Instant Payment Platform), delivering substantial benefits to both MultiBank Group and Mashreq. Moreover, through our subsidiary, MEX Global, we recently signed an agreement with Al Ansari Exchange, enabling our clients in the UAE to seamlessly deposit and withdraw funds via Al Ansari Exchange’s extensive branch network,” he added. Dubai is an ideal growth hub for finance, with its strategic location, forward-thinking policies, and reputation for stability and safety, Taher says. “The UAE’s visionary leaders have built a globally recognized business-friendly environment that attracted major financial institutions and made cross-border investment seamless,” he added. In 2021, the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) introduced a new legal framework, allowing companies to apply for financial derivatives broker licences. MultiBank was among the first to both apply for and secure this licence with SCA. “Similarly, we have also embraced the framework set forth by the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) who granted us exchange and broker dealer licences in 2024. Additionally, this year, SCA and VARA have signed an agreement to further strengthen the UAE’s position as a leading global hub for virtual assets, in alignment with the ‘The Principles of the 50’ and the government’s visionary aspirations to build the world’s best and most dynamic economy. These initiatives exemplify the collaborative efforts between different regulatory authorities to attract global businesses to operate within its financial sectors, including that of virtual assets,” Taher said. Dubai’s commitment to staying on the cutting edge of tech, especially with advancements in blockchain and AI, strengthens its position as a top financial hub. With its ability to quickly adapt to global economic shifts, Dubai offers a vibrant ecosystem where companies like ours can grow, innovate, and thrive with confidence. MultiBank Group’s daily turnover stands at $18.1 billion. “Since 2005, we’ve built a robust regulatory track record working with 16 financial regulators globally. #MultiBankExpansion #GlobalBanking #UAEFinancialHub #BankingInnovation #GlobalFootprint #UAEBusinessGrowth #InternationalFinance #BankingLeadership #FinanceIndustry #UAEEconomic

UAE equity highlights today - are expectations of a hawkish Fed boosting banks? We look at National Bank of Umm Al Qaiwain, Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank and crypto miner Phoenix Group. Modest losses were posed across both the Abu Dhabi and Dubai exchanges on Wednesday with investors likely distracted by tonight’s FOMC meeting minutes. With that in mind, many financial stocks fared well, presumably buoyed by the idea of interest rates remaining high for some time yet. National Bank of Umm Al Qaiwain was the biggest riser, up 3% on the day. That was sufficient to take the stock back towards multi year highs, although deal flow was incredibly limited and there’s no clear news here. Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank also fared well, adding 2.4% on the day. That sees the stock reverse yesterday’s losses following the brief dip below 8 Dhs, a level which hasn’t been sustained since last October. Crypto miner Phoenix Group was the worst performer of the large caps, down 7.2% on the day. The stock saw elevated transaction levels on the day although the losses took it down to all time lows. The company debuted on the market in December 2023 with an offer that was 33 times oversubscribed. Exchange data notes that Agility Global and Abu Dhabi National Energy Company (TAQA) will both trade ex-div tomorrow.

Islamic banks in the GCC are set to outgrow conventional banks, driven by rising demand for Shariah-compliant products and stable profit margins, according to Moody's. Supported by stable oil prices and economic diversification, Islamic banks are expected to see strong growth, with Saudi Arabia leading the expansion. Sukuk issuances are also projected to increase significantly in 2024. #IslamicFinance #IslamicBanking
