Global Finance Magazine
First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) offers the broadest range of custody services as the only Middle Eastern-based institution offering sub-custody services across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
FAB is also the country winner in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
Clients benefit from a modern, scalable technology platform with a full suite of asset-servicing solutions designed to meet the needs of global institutional investors.
To deepen the bank’s regional client base, its business development strategy is focused on three main client groups: global custodians, regional sovereign wealth funds, and MENA-based asset managers.
Accordingly, the bank is advancing its digital custody strategy to include the storage of digital assets, independent asset valuation, digital-asset collateral solutions, and tokenization-related services.
