To be placed first in the category of ‘Best Cash Management Award in the UAE’ is a great recognition of the Bank’s capability to provide customers with tailored cash management solutions Mr. Thomas added, “We see this award not as the pinnacle of achievement, but as a harbinger of even greater things to come.” ADCB also placed second in the category and Nineteenth from 21st last year at a Global level of ‘Best Cash Management Bank for the Middle East’ and was ranked as the ‘Best Regional Bank in the Middle East.’ These accolades acknowledge ADCB’s success and are evidence that despite an increasingly competitive landscape, the Bank has remained focussed on executing its core business strategy and maintaining the highest standards of trusted client advisory and solutions, as well as operation efficiency.
