FAB’s significant leap towards principal banking leadership and digital transformation powered by iGTB’s Digital Transaction Banking (DTB)

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 liquidity management now being seen as the key to cash management and vital to retain and attract the largest marquee clients, this move should help FAB’s principal banking leadership achieve its stated aim of improving risk-adjusted returns.

With iGTB’s inter-company lending capabilities, FAB can now offer in-house banking capabilities to their top corporate client conglomerates. This helps their clients accelerate ideal allocation of debt versus equity within the wider group to support shareholder value creation, an optimal capitalisation of entities within that group to meet investment requirements and growth targets of Operation Heads of the entities and the opportunity for the Group Corporate Treasurers to leverage these various entities’ different levels of funding access.

This first, large scale intercompany lending implementation, the biggest in the region, positions FAB as a bank with a significant first-mover advantage in the region but also well on the way to becoming the principal banking service provider to corporates.

He further added, “The implementation of the latest enhancements to the bank will boost the bank’s product innovation and allow for operational excellence, enabling it to prepare for future growth and expansion.”

Powered by iGTB’s Digital Transaction Banking solution (DTB), the intercompany lending capabilities automate the execution of borrowing and lending within the entities of the corporate, tracking of loan agreements rules and parameters in terms of borrowing capacity, debt structure, repayments, facility limits and more. This signals a significant move from all manual processes thereby contextualising & automating the end-to-end process, and legal tracking including comprehensive interest calculation mechanism. This solution will also create the capability for treasurers and operations heads of the corporates to have an end-to-end single view to manage and optimize the complete process.
