Saxo Bank, the leading fintech and regtech specialist focused on multi-asset trading and investment, has agreed on a strategic partnership with Sarwa, a UAE-based fintech firm and the region’s first online investment advisory platform for young professionals, that will support the local company’s rapid growth across the MENA region.
The partnership utilizes Saxo Bank’s innovative platform and technology, allows Sarwa to add new asset classes to their offering, and provides flexibility to tailor products and services more effectively to clients.
The collaboration will also add efficiency for Sarwa, allowing them to scale significantly in the future, both in terms of increasing their client base and product offering across multiple asset classes.
Steve Weller, Middle East CEO for Saxo Bank said: “We are very proud to sign this agreement and work with Sarwa, a rising regional fintech with great potential for the future. Our joint agreement is a great example of the power of collaboration when two companies bring together their strengths for mutual benefit.
“At Saxo Bank we are always championing the power of partnerships, believing that financial institutions must explore external partnerships to innovate and improve the customer experience as digital consumption continues its rapid increase. This agreement with Sarwa is a perfect example of the win-win nature of partnerships and I expect we will see more such collaborations across the MENA financial services arena as digitisation increases.”
Mark Chahwan, co-founder and CEO of Sarwa said: “We chose to enter this partnership with Saxo Bank as we have been on a positive and fast-paced growth trajectory since our platform launch in Feb 2018. We understood the need for a partner that could help us to scale the business in a seamless matter and enable us to provide more services and products for our clients as we expand into new markets.
“Saxo Bank stood out in our evaluations based on the cutting-edge technology, regulatory framework and OpenAPI functionality as well as technical support and intangibles such as consumer trust and experience. As Sarwa continues to evolve and grow, we see the need for a partner that supports us on our journey and expansion into new markets. We are very happy to be working with such a dedicated and professional team.”
