Mr Samer Tamimi, Acting Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The confirmation of our CFO and Head of Legal underlines the continuity of our transformation strategy; demonstrating the commitment of our Management Team to UAB whilst the Bank itself has recognized their efforts and promoted from within. All three appointments will support our ongoing efforts to increase operational efficiency, enhance business effectiveness and deliver a more seamless customer experience. This announcement follows on from Moody’s recent affirmation of our credit rating and transition to a stable outlook, which further demonstrates tangible progress against our strategic plans.”
