About us

We are committed to our business in the United Arab Emirates. From Abu Dhabi and Dubai, we maintain key relationships with governments, financial institutions and corporations.

We have a committed and long-standing history of serving clients in the Middle East for over 100 years. Today, we operate across offices in Abu Dhabi, Beirut, Cairo, Doha, Dubai, Manama and Riyadh.

In the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), our treasury hub serves as a vital centre for global connectivity, enabling both local and international clients to optimize their treasury operations for enhanced business value.

We also lead volunteer service activities for employees in local communities by utilizing our many resources, including those that stem from access to capital, economies of scale, global reach and expertise.
