A first of its kind in the UAE, the platform is equipped with virtual banking tools, including online application and electronic signature services, providing customers with a seamless and convenient banking experience. The platform also integrates virtual communications tools, including video conferencing and real-time screen sharing, to boost collaboration between customers and sales representatives, ADIB said in a statement.
