Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB), a leading financial institution, was recognised for its leading digital banking services at the 2021 Gulf Customer Experience Awards, securing the accolade in the Digital Transformation category.
The Gulf Customer Experience Awards celebrate excellence in customer, digital and employee experience across industry sectors. Each category has a panel of three to six judges, with the scoring criteria endorsed by Cranfield University and the Customer Experience Professionals Association.
Commenting on the award, Philip King, Global Head of Retail at ADIB, said: “At the onset of the pandemic, ADIB’s progressive digital transformation strategy allowed us to adapt quickly to changes in customer behaviour without any disruption. We are proud to be recognized for our digital initiatives, a testament to our commitment to ensure customers always receive the best digital banking experience.
