MBRF of Dubai SME is the agency of Dubai Economy mandated to develop the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector.

The memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed at FAB’s Sheikh Zayed branch in Dubai, by Abdul Basit Al Janahi, CEO of Dubai SME, and Hana Al Rostamani, group head of personal banking at FAB, in the presence of senior officials from both parties, added the Wam report.

Under the agreement, FAB will offer Dubai SME Emirati-owned suppliers with an easy and tailored solution to secure financing against sales invoices.
