About Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank And TradeAssets
Fintech Innovations International introduced TradeAssets in 2018. It is based on blockchain technology. Also, it was founded to make traditional deal-making more transparent and strengthen global connections between institutions. Ultimately, its goal is to make trade financing more accessible to everyone. Their vision is to make the time-consuming manual process more modern by using automation and features to build a digital marketplace for trade finance for banks.
The strategic partnership between ADIB and TradeAssets, which was signed last year, helps both companies be more effective and efficient. It also helps ADIB continue to use cutting-edge technologies. Over the past months, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank and 11 other Bangladeshi banks have used the TradeAssets platform to close 130 deals worth more than USD 128 million.
