"MoneySouq is bringing the financial world onto a unified platform to the doorsteps of the consumer. Shopping Malls are a way of life in the UAE, so with MoneySouq we are taking Personal Finance to the shopper for them to browse at their own convenience and in their own free time; where better then in the malls?

And of course mobile applications: In-Stat research is said to expect mobile app. downloads to reach nearly 48 billion by 2015. We're simply picking up on consumer habits and once again with MoneySouq we are unifying an entire sector on a virtual platform for the convenience of both the financial institutions and the consumer. It's a win-win situation."

Targeting all mall-trawlers, and of course mainly UAE residents, MoneySouq has a particular eye for the ladies - 25-45 year old professionals, working mothers and homemakers who are equally important when it comes to managing, upgrading, enhancing and protecting financial affairs.

So where to after Mall of the Emirates?
