ABK's long-term regional aspirations have also led to strategic alliances with world-class financial partners. For example, its highly successful and popular co-branding with Emirates Airline on ABK credit cards has given cardholders the opportunity to earn and redeem Skywards Miles for Emirates flights, by simply using their cards. Through its subsidiary; Ahli Capital Investment Company, the Bank provides a wide range of financial services such as asset management, portfolio management, wealth management, investment banking, custody and consultative services. ABK has solid credit agency ratings of A2 from Moody's and A+ from Fitch. The Bank's core values are based on: Transparency, Integrity, Simplicity and Excellence
