emirates7 - Reem Finance has entered into two strategic agreements with the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX), one of the fastest-growing exchanges in the region, to make investing in IPOs and trading on ADX simpler and more accessible. The collaboration aims to streamline the process for a broader base of investors.
The agreements were formalised at a ceremony attended by Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi, Group CEO of ADX; and from Reem Finance, Hamdan Al Dahmani, Chairman, Faris Al Dhaheri, Board Member, and Seraj Faidi, CEO, along with senior representatives from both sides.
The first agreement will allow investors to instantly generate a National Investor Number (NIN)—a prerequisite for trading on ADX—through Reem Finance’s upcoming digital platform. By enabling customers to obtain their NIN directly via the RF mobile app, the process becomes faster and more seamless, underscoring Reem Finance’s vision of building a fully digital community bank.
The second agreement designates Reem Finance as a receiving agent for IPO subscriptions. Investors will be able to subscribe to IPOs on ADX directly through the RF app, with the added flexibility of financing options to support participation. This combination of access and liquidity is expected to boost demand for new listings and reflects the innovative services shaping Reem Finance’s digital banking model.
Commenting on the partnership, Abdulla Salem Alnuaimi said the collaboration highlights ADX’s commitment to making capital markets more open, efficient, and inclusive. By offering new digital channels, ADX is simplifying the investor journey, attracting a wider and more diverse investor community, and reinforcing its role in expanding market participation and opportunities.
Hamdan Al Dahmani noted that both institutions share the goal of fostering more dynamic capital markets in the UAE. He described the agreements as the start of a long-term partnership rooted in digital community banking, supporting Abu Dhabi’s ambition to strengthen its standing as a global financial hub.
Seraj Faidi emphasised that the agreements mark a pivotal moment in Reem Finance’s transition into a digital community bank. By aligning with ADX, the company is expanding investor access to IPOs with greater ease and leverage support. He added that this is only the beginning of a broader collaboration, with more initiatives planned in the future.
The partnership follows a strong first-half performance for ADX in 2025, with foreign net investment nearly doubling to AED 13.6 billion and total trading value up 33.5% year-on-year to AED 179.5 billion. The new agreements with Reem Finance are part of ongoing efforts to build on this momentum by creating more channels for investor engagement.
Both parties stressed that these agreements represent just the first step in a wider strategy, as Reem Finance completes its shift into a digital community bank. This initiative further supports Abu Dhabi’s drive to position itself as a leading global financial hub while broadening access to its growing equity markets.
