Small is beautiful in UAE banking sector - The National

Quirkiness is a virtue, says Paul Trowbridge, the chief executive of United Arab Bank (UAB), as he pulls out the lender's newest Islamic credit card, printed vertically rather than horizontally.

"It's a bit unusual," he says."Not everyone's got it. It's relatively understated - and it's Arabic." In a nutshell, that describes the bank's attempts to sell itself during a year of rapid expansion.

The lender based in Sharjah has tried to stand out through high-profile events such as enlisting Fabio Cannavaro, a former captain of the Italian national football team, to open its branches.
