As the oldest bank in the UAE, HSBC has played a key role in the development of the UAE economy, the banking sector and its people since 1946. It’s our heritage, experience and network that give us a foundation for future success. It’s our pedigree in the world’s fastest-growing markets, our position as the world’s biggest trade bank and our presence across the world’s biggest trade and capital corridors that enable us to make a lasting impact on people’s lives. Within the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey region, we stay on top of the trends in FinTech and mentor or partner with startups through accelerator programmes, such as FinTech Hive.
A proud supporter of the UAE Nationalisation programme in the finance and private sector, we also continue to be a workplace where Emirati talent has the opportunity to develop a fulfilling career and achieve their full potential in a truly open, supportive and inclusive environment. The UAE’s Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) has recognised HSBC for its efforts to create a diverse and inclusive work environment by presenting the bank with the Emiratisation Award (Large Establishment category) in February 2020.
In addition, HSBC UAE CEO Abdulfattah Sharaf’s personal leadership in developing Emirati talent was recognised by the Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial Studies, which presented him with the Best Emiratisation CEO Award in the Banking and Financial Sector in February 2020.
