As a leading local bank, UNB is deeply committed to ensuring its product and service offerings are tailor-made to the UAE national community", added Mr. Halawa.

"UNB demonstrates its commitment to different segments of our society through our product offerings, quality of service and community involvement. Through this promotion, we aim to continue the tradition of successful initiatives that serve the needs of our key customer segments, including UAE nationals." added Mr. Halawa.
