Noor Bank (Noor) has been named ‘Best Corporate Finance Solutions Provider - UAE’ at the Islamic Finance Awards 2014, organised by the London based Capital Finance International (CFI) magazine. 

The title recognises Noor’s delivery of outstanding Shari’a compliant corporate finance solutions that are provided in consultation with a skilled team of professional advisers. The Award’s distinguished judging panel comprising 160 decision makers from the fields of business journalism, corporate leadership and academia also applauded Noor Bank for its innovations and ability to build enduring relationships with clients. 

In winning the distinction, Noor becomes the first bank in the region to be recognised in the award category.

Noor Bank’s latest accolade complements its number one ranking on the 2013 Bloomberg League Tables for EMEA Islamic Syndicate Book Runner as well as EMEA Islamic Syndicate Mandated Arranger. 

Since its inception in 2012, CFI’s Islamic Finance Awards have aimed to identify organisations that deliver quality performance and service excellence. Winners are selected regardless of size, stature or perceived strengths and are determined by an expert panel of judges from a shortlist of up to three or four strong nominees. For the initial round of the evaluation process, each nominee is selected by readers and magazine subscribers, prior to an examination by the judges.

Kazim Ali, Head of Corporate Banking at Noor Bank, said: “We are greatly honoured to receive this award that validates Noor Bank’s relentless efforts in the dynamic and new corporate finance segment. As a value-added service, Noor seeks to tailor solutions for established and emerging corporates.” 

“Corporate banking is a key profit centre for most banks, but at Noor we believe it is our personalised attention and enduring relationships with our customers, big and small, that have helped us add value. In the past year, our young corporate finance team has helped businesses structure complex transactions, and we will continue to innovate to meet dynamic corporate requirements through 2015.”

Since its launch in 2008, Noor Bank has gained a reputation for offering innovative and client-focused banking products and services. Noor continues to lead the retail banking market in providing convenient banking solutions, including the UAE’s first fully operational mobile internet banking experience in the Arabic language.
