FAB handles custody and offers it to customers in 20 markets, targeting payments, treasury, and cross-border trade. Leaders like FAB's Futoon Al Mazrouei and IHC's Syed Basar Shueb hailed it as a responsible milestone that modernizes finance and cuts costs for MENA remittances worth $40 billion yearly.
