First Abu Dhabi Bank Chooses Broadridge for Global Agency Securities Finance

First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) has partnered with Broadridge Financial Solutions, a company that provides advanced technology for financial services. This partnership will help FAB grow its business in securities lending. Securities lending is when one party lends shares or bonds to another for a certain period. FAB wants to improve how it handles this business in the UAE and across the Middle East.

FAB will use a special system created by Broadridge called the Securities Finance and Collateral Management (SFCM) platform. This system will help FAB work faster, more efficiently, and more smoothly. It will also ensure that FAB follows the local rules in the Middle East while also meeting international standards. The demand for borrowing and lending securities is increasing in the region, and this partnership will help FAB meet that demand.

Darren Crowther, who leads the securities finance section at Broadridge, said that this partnership will make trading easier and more innovative. He said that both FAB and Broadridge are committed to bringing new ideas and tools to the market. This will help businesses in the Middle East perform better and serve their clients more effectively.
