Boubyan Bank Group has launched Nomo, a fully licensed and regulated UK Islamic digital bank catering for customers with a global financial outlook. Nomo is introduced as a brand name of the UK-based Bank of London and The Middle East.
Nomo has been developed to accommodate a growing segment of individuals in the Middle East with international banking needs. Nomo provides a digital solution for accessing, moving, and investing money in the UK and internationally with ease and assurance.
Eligible customers from Kuwait will be able to open their new UK account in minutes through the cutting-edge and intuitive Nomo iPhone app, providing them with the ability to make seamless international payments in GBP (£) and USD ($) and transact through a virtual and/or digital MasterCard debit card. Nomo also caters to its customers through a range of innovative digital banking products.
Boubyan Bank Group CEO and BLME Chairman, Adel Al-Majed, said: "Nomo part of BLME is a fully licensed UK bank, offering a unique opportunity for customers to benefit from one of the most prestigious banking systems in the world.
As well as daily banking services, Nomo provides Sharia-compliant investment opportunities by offering fixed-term deposits. Boubyan Group has proudly pioneered this state-of-the-art digital bank that provides Islamic digital banking services, accessible from anywhere in the world."
Andrew Ball, CEO of BLME, said: "UK banks are admired around the world for their stability, resilience and high levels of governance. Digitization will enable customers in the Middle East to open and enjoy the benefits of a UK bank account in the knowledge that it also meets their Sharia principles and beliefs.
"In Nomo, we have brought together an impressive team from global digital and neo banks with a depth of experience in creating digitized banking systems. We have made substantial progress in a short period of time, and I look forward to working with the team as we continue to build the bank."
Nomo deposits of up to £85,000 are protected by the FSCS (Financial Services Compensation Scheme), which safeguards bank deposits in the UK.
