The Central Bank of the UAE has granted preliminary approval to “MINT Gateway” and “Alternative Venture Capital”, a branch of Abu Dhabi Capital Group, to set up “Omla Community Bank” in Umm Al Quwain.
This new digital banking entity will operate from Umm Al Quwain, extending its services across all seven emirates.
Abdulrazzaq Al Abdulla, Founder of “Omla” and Chairman of GBS Holding Group alongside “Mint Gateway”, highlighted the approval as a transformative stride toward a novel digital banking framework. He expressed gratitude to the Government of Umm Al Quwain and the Central Bank of the UAE for their backing.
As articulated by Al Abdulla, “Omla Community Bank” aims to build a contemporary banking ecosystem fueled by artificial intelligence and advanced digital setups. The focus is on offering accessible and efficient financial services for individuals, families, entrepreneurs, laborers, and micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises.
AI will be integral to various operations in the bank, such as customer support, risk evaluation, compliance, governance, cybersecurity, and essential banking functions. The integration of AI is set to enhance operational efficacy, transparency, and ensure sustainable growth over the long term.
Going beyond conventional banking, the bank aims to develop a comprehensive financial platform to address daily necessities including housing, educational services, healthcare, transportation, food, public utilities, and commerce through AI-enabled solutions.
Under the “No Tie Policy”, Omla Community Bank intends to cultivate a contemporary workplace, fostering a flexible and innovation-driven atmosphere that is close to customers and nurtures creativity.
As founding shareholders, “Mint Gateway” and “Alternative Venture Capital” state that they are amalgamating financial sagacity, strategic investments, and a long-term vision to create a banking platform adaptive to the UAE’s digital transformation ambitions.
Once operational, Omla Community Bank is set to align with the UAE’s goals for financial inclusion, SME advancement, responsible AI implementation, digital economic progress, and sustainable community development.
Upon launch, it aims to deliver offerings such as digital accounts, payment solutions, money transfers, remittances, savings instruments, responsible lending, vehicle finance, rental-linked financing, merchant payment systems, SME banking options, and AI-driven financial insights.
It is confirmed that all banking solutions, technologies, and services will undergo final regulatory review by the Central Bank of the UAE before official commencement.
