We have a strong relationship with ADIB over many years and are delighted to be working together to support the evolution of home financing.”
Commenting on the MoU, Mohamed Abdelbary, Group Chief Executive Officer at ADIB, said: “ADIB continues to play a pivotal role in expanding access to home financing in the UAE, empowering more individuals and families to take their first step into being property owners.
