UAE\u2019s SWIFT User Group Steering Committee (SUGSC) held its last 2020 virtual meeting in December, which was presided over by Mr. Jamal Saleh, Chairman of UAE\u2019s SWIFT User Group and Director General of UAE Banks Federation (UBF).<\/p>\n

Mr. Saleh welcomed SUGSC members and thanked them for their ongoing dedication and efforts, as well as their collaboration with UBF and all concerned stakeholders and partners to ensure that our networking across the financial ecosystem in the UAE remains reliable, efficient, and secure. Members joined Mr. Saleh welcoming the new committee member, Mr. Rahul Anup Jayakar, who has been nominated by Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank to replace Mr. Haitham El-Maayergi.<\/p>\n

SUGSC members approved the minutes of their last meeting, which was held on the 2nd of June 2020, and discussed the activities performed during the year 2020, as well as approved 2021\u2019s budget, action plan, and external auditor\u2019s re-appointment.<\/p>\n

During the meeting, SUGSC members announced the establishment of a \u201cNational Member Group (NMG)\u201d and suggested to accordingly change SUGSC name to become \u201cSWIFT User Group Steering Committee & National Member Group\u201d while preserving all terms and conditions, charter, and group structure, and while adopting a wider agenda approach in which it would become customary to invite related stakeholders and experts to SUGSC\/NMG meetings.<\/p>\n

The meeting discussed SWIFT\u2019s new Training Centre in the UAE, where SWIFT User bankers will be invited to customized and dedicated virtual user training programs by SWIFT. The committee also confirmed the two nominations (from First Abu Dhabi Bank and Sharjah Islamic Bank) who will represent UBF on SWIFT\u2019s Customer Security program – CSCF Working Group & Consultation in 2022.<\/p>\n

Mr. Saleh said: \u201cWe at UBF, together with our valuable SUGSC, which includes UBF and a number of premier large UAE banks and founding member of SWIFT-UAE, such as FAB, Emirates-NBD, Al Masraf, Arab Bank, ADIB, and Mashreq, have been a driver and promoter for SWIFT and its Users ever since SWIFT\u2019s first inception in the UAE by UBF almost 30 years ago. UAE SWIFT User Group functions under the auspicy of UBF and have an advisory role on policy and strategic issues that are addressed at Board Level and that affect shareholders, all of which is to help promote SWIFT across the UAE and in support of SWIFT\u2019s UAE Regional Office in Dubai, thus making SWIFT\u2019s UAE memberships reach stellar highs and making the UAE become #1 in MENA.\u201d<\/p>\n
