Abu Dhabi, UAE – 15^th October 2026: Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB), a leading Islamic financial institution, has opened its new Al Mutarid Branch in Al Ain, introducing a branch concept that brings digital self-service and personalised support together in one location. The opening reflects ADIB’s continued investment in its physical network and digital capabilities to make banking simpler, more convenient and more responsive to customers’ needs.

By bringing these capabilities together, ADIB is evolving the role of its branches to place greater emphasis on advice, relationships and assisted service, while making everyday transactions more convenient.

The new branch also strengthens ADIB’s presence in Al Ain, bringing its network in the city to nine branches within a nationwide network of 64 branches.

Amit Malhotra, Group Head of Retail Banking at ADIB, said: “Our ambition under Vision 2035 is to build a bank around our customers’ needs, giving them greater choice in how they access our services. Digital convenience and human expertise go hand in hand. The Al Mutarid Branch brings this approach to life, enabling customers to complete everyday transactions efficiently while giving our people more opportunity to provide advice, solve problems and build lasting relationships. Our continued investment in both our branch network and digital capabilities reflects one clear priority: serving our customers better.”

Ahmed Ateeq Al Dhaheri, Head of Branch Network at ADIB, said: “Al Ain is an important market for ADIB, and this opening reflects our continued commitment to the city and its communities. The Al Mutarid Branch gives customers the flexibility to use self-service technology with the reassurance of having our team available to guide and support them. It is a practical evolution of the branch experience, shaped around convenience, accessibility and personal service.”
