“Our expansion into Saudi Arabia represents an important milestone in our international business strategy as well as a testament to the strong ties between the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
“The Kingdom is of strategic importance to both FAB and the UAE, and it is for that reason we chose Saudi Arabia as the first destination in our international expansion plans since our merger.”
Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority governor Ahmed Abdulkarim Alkholifey also welcomed the expansion and said that the move will boost competition.
FAB was created through the merger between First Gulf Bank (FGB) and the National Bank of Abu Dhabi (NBAD) in 2017.
