As part of our partnership between UBAF and the BSIC Group, Martine Abu El Ghait and Anissa Lakhdari flew to Abidjan to lead a three-day seminar on a key issue: “Financial Security & Trade Finance”.

Reconciling regulatory requirements and operational realities: that's the challenge taken up by our Africa and Financial Security teams, represented by Anissa Lakhdari, Head of UEAMOA & Cameroon and Martine Abu El Ghait, Financial Security Expert and Training.

As we celebrate Eid-El-Fitr 2025, we wish you and your family joy, health and abundance.

UBAF has just been awarded the prestigious "Deal of the Year" by Islamic Finance News*! Each year, this award highlights the most outstanding transactions in the Islamic finance sector.

In 2024, IFN recognised 17 institutions, including UBAF, for their key role in a $604 million Murabaha financing for the Egyptian government, represented by EGPC, the national oil company.

For the second year running, the World Union of Arab Banks* (WUAB) has honoured UBAF with the "Excellence in Financing Trade between Europe, Asia, the Arab World and Africa" award.

This award recognises our ongoing commitment to emerging countries undergoing rapid change, as well as our role as a trusted partner of Arab banks in the economic development of these regions.

The unique expertise of UBAF's Trade Finance teams has once again been rewarded.
