FUJAIRAH, 28th May, 2015 (WAM) -- National Bank of Fujairah, NBF, announced today that it has won Best Commercial Bank UAE and Best Corporate Bank UAE at the 2015 Banker Middle East, BME, Industry Awards.

This is the fourth consecutive year that the bank has retained the best domestic commercial bank title whilst securing the best local corporate bank award for the first time, further reinforcing its status as the leading bank for businesses across the UAE.

Organised by CPI Financial, the annual BME Industry Awards is regarded as one of the leading platforms for recognising excellence in the regional financial services, with winners being shortlisted through public voting.

NBF CEO, Vince Cook, said, "To win both corporate and commercial banking titles at one go is both a tremendous honour and an unprecedented achievement for NBF. Most importantly, this latest success not only validates our business focus but shows that we are making extremely good progress in our transformation into one of the fastest growing and most well-respected financial institutions in the UAE and perhaps the region."
