Mashreq supports Dubai Metro with ATM network expansion

Mashreq is the first national bank to have ATMs at the newly launched metro stations.

All 11 ATM's were fully functional and ready for public use from the official launch of the Dubai Metro on 09/09/09. With this, Mashreq's ATM network has reached a total of 246 ATMs across the seven emirates.

Douglas K. Beckett, Head of Retail Banking Group, Mashreq said:

"The Dubai Metro project marks yet another milestone in the history of the UAE, and is reflective of its commitment to the development of the country and its people. One of our main goals at Mashreq is to support such national initiatives in the UAE."

"This initiative marks another significant step forward in Mashreq's commitment to providing better services to its customers, and further demonstrates the bank's ability to lead the industry in supporting the growth of the region."

The Rashidiya, Deira City Center, Riqqa, Mall of the Emirates, Financial Centre, Jafiliya & Jumeirah Islands stations have been installed with one each fully operational ATM with cash and connectivity. Union Square & Khalid bin Waleed (Burjuman) stations house 2 ATMs each.

Gavin Sanderson, Head of Distribution, Mashreq commented, "We average over one million transactions a month in our ATMs across the UAE and this highlights our convenient locations and reliability. We definitely look forward to expanding our ATM network within Dubai Metro. We have succeeded to meet the deadline of the inauguration of the metro and are proud to be the only national bank to have 11 fully operational ATMs by day one of the first phase of this historic project. Our ATM's in the metro stations proved to be very helpful, reporting over 2000 transactions in the first three days of its operations."

The new ATMs are conveniently situated in prime locations within the metro stations. Equipped with latest security systems, the newly installed ATMs compliment the 62 Mashreq branches and 4 service centers across the UAE.
