Major UAE banks adopt digital services

Today, Cryptolydian has cited a recent study by Bloomberg Intelligence, stating that major banks in the UAE are adopting digital services. They aim to compete in the maturing blockchain industry that has growing customer needs.

Moreover, the study highlighted the importance of fostering digital services in order to boost market share, establish resilient and cost-effective activities.

Most importantly, the increase in IT spending may lead to the merger of small banks. Thus, larger banks may invest in the renewal of small banks’ systems.
