Dubai Outsource Zone provides platform for ADCB development

Dubai, United Arab Emirates - Tuesday, December 4th 2012 [ME NewsWire]

The number of new bank accounts processed by Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank PJSC (‘ADCB’) rose by 43 per cent to date in 2012 compared with the same period last year, latest figures reveal.

ADCB, a key business partner in Dubai Outsource Zone (DOZ), has enjoyed an increase in new account activity following the success of its ‘Free Banking’ initiative in which the bank removed charges on personal, current and saving accounts.

The growth has been supported by the introduction of a ‘shared services’ model in which many of ADCB’s key processes have been centralized and streamlined. The model has supported the increase in new bank accounts by improving processing time and decreasing rejection rates.

Jerry Möllenkramer, Group Chief Operating Officer at ADCB, said: "The shared services model along with productivity management has all ... Read more »
