ADCB is consistent in its support for customers, whether in the face of challenges or the pursuit of opportunity. Through the global pandemic, we stood with those who were impacted economically, bringing practical solutions and continuous engagement to provide a clear route to recovery.

The Bank is investing significantly in digital services and ecosystems to bring new banking and lifestyle experiences directly to retail customers. We are also leveraging our strong balance sheet and expertise to step up lending to major corporates and drive successful capital markets transactions, while financing SME growth and enabling micro-businesses to transition to an increasingly cashless economy.
