One of the largest banking groups in the Middle East, Emirates NBD has partnered with MoniMove, an award-winning fintech platform in order to support the bank’s E20. digital business bank initiative, which aims to empower UAE entrepreneurs, startups, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and other companies.
The collaboration is in line with Emirates NBD’s digital strategy, as the bank continues to lead the area in digital banking innovation and participates actively in the tech startup ecosystem.
Through this partnership, Emirates NBD’s SME clients would be able to conduct their local and international transactions seamlessly on an advanced supply chain management platform, gaining flow-on benefits such as time savings, operational risk mitigation, and cost reduction.
According to the company statement, by integrating with E20., users transacting on the MoniMove platform will achieve a high level of transparency and credibility, providing the bank with visibility on their end-to-end transactions and interactions with suppliers.
With MoniMove’s comprehensive reports and analysis, Emirates NBD can evaluate SMEs’ behavior regularly and create credit profiles that will increase the bank’s lending appetite to SMEs.
