Dubai Bank will become the first bank across the region to provide its customers with the offsite 'safe house' concept.
'Once again the bank plans to launch a service which highlights its commitment to its customers by providing convenient and innovative products and services. This is the first time in the Middle East that a secured service of this nature is being offered outside the bank's premises. We are delighted to be working with Comexter and look forward to greeting the first customers in less than two months,' commented Mr. Ahmed Bin Brek, Chief Executive Officer, Dubai Bank.
Two strong rooms will be conveniently located in Hall 1 of Dubai World Trade Centre. An Autosafe 4 System will provide round the clock accessibility allowing customers to make deposits and withdraw their valuables at any time, in the utmost confidentiality.
'The Autosafe 4 System lies at the cutting edge of banking technology. Not only does it allow the safekeeping of valuables such as jewellery, documents, money and other items but also the self-service facility requires no assistance from the Bank's staff. The safe house is private, secure and available around the clock,' said Mr. Nizar Alassaf, General Manager, Comexter.
'By signing up with Comexter we have joined forces with the best the industry has to offer. In future, we will continue to provide our customers with niche products and services in this highly competitive market,' concluded Mr. Bin Brek.
