ADCB and Al Hilal Bank signdeal with BLME

ADCB and its Shari’ah compliant digital banking subsidiary Al Hilal Bank have announced an innovative new partnership with Bank of London and the Middle East (BLME) to bring digital UK banking to UAE nationals and residents through Nomo.

Customers in the UAE can now open UK-based multi-currency current and savings accounts, as well as apply for UK home financing, from their smartphones using the newly launched ADCB-Nomo and Al Hilal-Nomo banking apps. This unique proposition, which gives UAE consumers a quick and simple way to bank in the UK from the UAE, demonstrates ADCB Group’s agility and commitment to consistently provide market-leading customer experience.

Nomo is part of BLME, a subsidiary of Boubyan Bank, one of the leading financial institutions in the Middle East. Nomo was established to bring high-quality, Shari’ah-compliant digital banking to non-UK residents in the Middle East.

Ala’a Eraiqat, ADCB Group CEO, and Al Hilal Bank Chairman, said, “ADCB’s partnership with Nomo is part of our strategy to drive digital-enabled growth. We are focused on maintaining ADCB’s leadership position in customer experience and are committed to providing customers with innovative digital banking solutions and an unparalleled banking experience. The ADCB-Nomo and Al Hilal-Nomo apps will simplify international banking and unlock new financing opportunities for our customers with interests in the UK.” The ADCB-Nomo and Al Hilal-Nomo apps will give customers the ability to spend fee-free globally in six currencies (GBP, USD, Dhs, EUR, KWD and SAR), send money fee-free to UK bank accounts, and save in UK-based Fixed Term Deposits in GBP and USD.
