RAKBANK is the trading name of the National Bank of Ras Al-Khaimah PJSC, a public joint stock company headquartered in the emirate of Ras Al-Khaimah, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It is listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and its shares are publicly traded
RAKBANK is a retail and business bank in the UAE with assets of AED 34.5 billion at the close of the first half of 2014. The Bank provides conventional and Islamic retail, small business, and commercial banking services through a network of thirty four branches in the UAE as well as its Telephone, Online and Mobile Banking channels. According to The Banker's Top 1000 Arab Bank Rankings in 2014 (published by FT Financial Publishing), RAKBANK is the 1st in the UAE by Return On Assets (ROA) and 17th in the world.
The Bank was amongst the few commercial banks in the UAE which posted profit growth in 2009. Due to the Bank’s withdrawal in 2006 from lending in the construction and civil engineering segments outside of its base Emirate, it has very little residual exposure in those segments and has no exposure to construction involving high-rise towers
At the start of 2013, the Bank launched an Islamic Banking unit, RAKBANK AMAL, amid a flood of investments in the Shariah (Islamic law)-compliant financial sector in the country. The Islamic banking products and services are offered via its subsidiary, RAK Islamic Finance Company. In August 2014, the Bank announced its intention to acquire a majority stake in Ras Al Khaimah National Insurance Company (RAKNIC) following approval from the Bank’s shareholders. Shareholders voted in favour of the Bank buying a majority stake at Dh3.64 per share during its ordinary general assembly held on Monday at the bank’s headquarters in Ras Al Khaimah. The acquisition will be done through an offer to all shareholders of RAKNIC.
