Empowering First Abu Dhabi Bank to differentiate their client offerings through significant new capabilities in the area of liquidity management in Fab’s Principal Banking leadership
Dubai, 5 October, 2020: Intellect Global Transaction Banking (iGTB), the transaction banking and technology specialist from Intellect Design Arena Limited, today announced that First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), the largest bank in UAE, has expanded its relationship with iGTB to enhance the bank’s liquidity management capabilities.

With iGTB’s inter-company lending capabilities, FAB can now offer in-house banking capabilities to their top corporate client conglomerates.
