Creating safer payments across the UAE with Eastnets

We worked closely with a large domestic bank, an institution that’s a key pillar in the Emirate’s economic development strategy. It provides an array of banking and financial services across the country for individual, business, and government institutions, aimed at enabling growth and economic progress.

Choosing to work with Eastnets, the Emirati bank discovered innovative ways to better adapt to regulatory requirements and market trends, modernise internal processes and improve its core banking systems to provide a better overall experience for customers.

Background

The prestigious financial institution was an Islamic bank incorporated in the emirate of Ajman, fully committed to becoming a sustainable and caring organisation for staff
and the wider community.

Headquartered in the aforementioned emirate, with a multitude of branches and ATMs placed across the UAE, the bank works in compliance with Shari’ah principles to facilitate growth and economic progress for individuals and businesses.

With a strong focus on delivering value to shareholders and customers, the bank also works closely with the local Emirate’s government to better nurture, support and develop the careers of its employees.
