National Bank of Fujairah, NBF, announced today that NBF Islamic has once again received the "Best Islamic Window – UAE" Award for the second consecutive time at the Islamic Business & Finance Awards 2017.

Hosted by CPI Financial, the Islamic Business & Finance Awards has quickly established itself as a reputable platform for banks and financial institutions aiming to cement their presence in the market and receive recognition from Islamic business leaders.

Commenting on the win, Vince Cook, NBF’s CEO, said, "We are very proud to receive this award for the second time in a row. Given the global economic slowdown, Islamic finance has made some significant strides in terms of penetrating new customer segments and benefiting from breakthroughs in the sector like the establishment of the Shari’a standard for gold. As we move forward, we can expect further growth in this space as the UAE focuses on transforming itself into a global hub of Islamic economy."
