Founded in 2007 as a Central Bank of the UAE-licensed private joint-stock finance company, Reem Finance has focused on customized B2B and corporate financing solutions — including factoring, term loans, credit cards, and corporate deposits — for private-sector entities across the UAE. The company has pursued a digital transformation agenda, evidenced by its Network International partnership for payments and card processing infrastructure. More recently it has broadened its capital markets engagement through a partnership with the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange.
