ADGM Licence and new global clearing partnership secured

 

CAB, a leading B2B FX and Payments provider to fast‑growth and dynamic
markets, today announces that its Middle Eastern subsidiary, CAB Global
Markets (CAB GM), has secured a Category 2 Financial Services Permission from
the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of the Abu Dhabi Global
Market (ADGM). Separately, CAB is pleased to confirm it has secured a
significant new global clearing partnership.

The Group will announce its full-year results for the 2025 financial year on 5
March 2026 as scheduled.

 

ADGM Licence secured

The FSRA Category 2 Licence builds on CAB's existing network, technology, and
expertise to empower the specialist bank's work in facilitating the two‑way
flow of funds in and out of fast‑growing and complex markets, strengthening
economies and empowering communities across Africa, South Asia, and the Middle
East. Specifically, the licence enables CAB GM to facilitate cross‑border
payments, foreign exchange transactions, trade finance instruments, and
arrange credit.

ADGM's position as a leading international financial centre with robust
regulatory standards makes it an ideal location for CAB GM to extend its
services across the Gulf and Middle East, while executing on its purpose to
deliver prosperity in the markets it serves.

 

New global USD and Euro clearing partner

The Group is also pleased to announce that it has established a strategic
clearing partnership with another leading global bank. Through this
collaboration, the Group's clients will gain greater access to USD and Euro
clearing services, enabling deeper liquidity across both new and existing
markets, and enhancing connectivity with key target regions. This partnership
also materially reinforces the Group's operational resilience, strengthening
service delivery while supporting broader diversification across its clearing
capabilities.

 

Neeraj Kapur, Group CEO, commented:

"These two announcements mark a significant step forward in our strategy. The
granting of the licence strengthens our ability to deliver on our purpose with
our increasing client base and expand our presence in key growth regions. The
UAE's geographic position, sophisticated regulatory environment, and deep
capital markets make it one of the world's leading financial centres.
Importantly, our additional clearing partnership with another global banking
institution materially enhances our growth opportunities."
