Dubai – Sharikat Mubasher: Ajman Bank announced it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Numou, a UAE-based digital financing marketplace and subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), to explore ways of cooperation on Shari’ah-compliant financing solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

As per a recent press release, the partnership will focus on SME financing, digital integration, and embedded finance, with both organizations seeking to simplify access to funding, streamline customer onboarding, and address the evolving financing needs of UAE businesses.
