About First Abu Dhabi Bank
First Abu Dhabi Bank, known as FAB, is the largest bank in the UAE and one of the largest in the Middle East. It was created in 2017 through the merger of First Gulf Bank and National Bank of Abu Dhabi, two of the country's leading banks.
The merger combined NBAD's strength in corporate and government banking with FGB's retail and consumer finance business, creating a bank with a very large balance sheet and a network across the UAE and internationally.
FAB serves governments, large corporations, financial institutions, small businesses and individuals. Its services include corporate and investment banking, global markets, trade finance, treasury, private banking, wealth management, and retail products such as accounts, cards, loans and mortgages.
The bank also offers Islamic banking through FAB Islamic, and it has expanded internationally with offices in financial centres in Asia, Europe, the Americas and the Middle East.
Digital banking has been a priority, with investments in mobile apps, digital payments and platforms for corporate clients. FAB has also backed fintech initiatives and payment services.
The Abu Dhabi government, through investment entities, is a major shareholder, and the bank plays a significant role in financing national projects.
FAB is listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange and is regulated by the Central Bank of the UAE.
