This alliance unlocks an open banking opportunity, reshaping the local financial services landscape by expanding Mbank’s geographical network. The strategic collaboration aims to integrate Mbank's services with the FABePay portal, offering both retail and corporate customers seamless access to cash and cheque deposits at an extensive network of 396 ATMs and Cash Deposit Machines (CDMs) across the UAE.

This agreement marks a significant milestone for Mbank, reinforcing its commitment to providing enhanced convenience and accessibility for its valued customers, wherever they may be in the UAE.
