Company Snapshot

Europe Arab Bank (EAB) offers corporate and private clients a keenly focused service backed by many years experience and a rich heritage. Wherever in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa our clients are located or want to do business, EAB is available to help. Our deep knowledge and experience of the region combined with our commitment to building long-term relationships are what set us apart.

EAB is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Arab Bank plc. As a recently formed business entity that brings together the European operations of Arab Bank plc, EAB offers people ‘the best of both worlds’ in many respects: the heritage and experience of a well-established financial institution combined with a new-thinking, re-invigorated structure for Europe. Our parentage has a first-class reputation in the Arab world.

EAB has a progressive and entrepreneurial outlook. We are small enough to do things differently and big enough to make a difference. We provide Corporate Banking services to a diverse client base with equally diverse business interests and Private Banking services including personal and advisory investment management. Our Treasury Services also provide a wide range of financial products which are tailored to meet all individual needs as well as enabling our customers to manage risk. Our products and services are being developed in response to the fast-evolving needs of our international clients. Wherever appropriate, we partner with best-of-breed providers to ensure that we deliver cutting-edge products to clients backed by a high level of individual service and attention.

Working at EAB:

EAB genuinely values the contribution made by people in operational and support functions as highly as those in customer-facing positions. We offer a wide range of career opportunities across our organisation and European locations. Everyone in each department has an important role to play in our success, be they in client-facing roles or ‘behind the scenes’.

We are all committed to creating a culture in which everyone can excel. It’s a culture that engenders mutual respect and support, from which everyone benefits. EAB offers remuneration and a reward scheme that recognises individual initiative and ability. Remuneration packages are regularly reviewed and benchmarked against other leading companies in the sector to ensure that they remain competitive and attractive. All employees are offered a full set of core and voluntary benefits which may include: non contributory pension scheme, accident cover, staff loans, private medical insurance, well person screenings, staff discounts and personal accident cover, all of which significantly enhance the total remuneration package.

Culture & History

We want the very best people in Europe and MENA because we have every intention of becoming the best bank in the region – the best for our clients and our people. We are committed to a substantial growth strategy that aligns our business with the impressive franchise we have in the MENA region.
Like most banks and other large organisations, EAB has developed vision, mission and value statements that encapsulate our goals, the way we aim to achieve them and what we stand for, as a company and within the wider community. We have invested significant time and energy into ensuring that these goals resonate with our people. In addition to our corporate goals, we have developed behavioural values, which define what it is like to work at EAB and what we expect from employees. They demonstrate how much we value our people and the great importance we place on creating a positive, constructive working environment:

Team-minded
We are all dependent on one another. Working as a team – across business lines and departments to achieve joint ambitions – will make EAB a great business.
Understanding
We engage with each other and interact effectively, with an understanding of one another. Interaction is encouraged between individuals, teams and departments across EAB and our Group. Where additional clarification or information is required we say – just ask.
Constructive
Our people feel comfortable discussing and raising any issue in constructive debate and discussion. They are prepared to challenge and be challenged – but do so in a constructive and appropriate manner. We learn from mistakes and have a ‘no blame’ culture.
Respectful
There is respect for one another other at all times. If matters are important to the person(s) raising them they are treated as important by others.
Supportive
We are supportive and show appreciation of other people’s circumstances, challenges and difficulties. We help each other to ‘deliver’ and are not afraid to seek help – asking for help is seen as a sign of strength, not a weakness.
Entrepreneurial
We encourage entrepreneurial thinking and show no jealousy of success – we celebrate success and are proud of our ‘can do’ attitude.
Responsible
Accountability and responsibility go hand-in-hand. We are responsible to each other as a team and work together to achieve shared goals and objectives.
Meritocratic
EAB is a meritocracy where people gain opportunities and rewards based on their demonstrated talent and competence.

Training & Development

Our people are an important driving force in our success. We place a high value on the skills and expertise they contribute to our business and work hard to develop a stimulating and supportive working environment in return. Furthermore, we believe that our people are an asset and therefore we invest in that asset. We support the establishment of an effective learning and development environment where people take responsibility to achieve their full potential. We see our own development as well as that of others as a continual and ongoing process.

Diversity

Our people, like our clients, live and work in a fast changing world. At EAB, we are a diverse team that not only understands our clients’ banking and investment requirements but also appreciates the cultures in which they operate. Understanding and consideration underpin our commitment to excellence in everything we do.

We consider, embrace and are sensitive to the diversity that exists within different nationalities, cultures and backgrounds by developing an understanding of the social and cultural systems that are different from our own. We do this with a view to being able to effectively work and co-operate with others to influence and achieve mutually beneficial outcomes.
