Al Maryah Community Bank (Mbank) opened a new branch at City Walk Dubai, expanding its physical footprint in the emirate and strengthening its focus on SMEs, entrepreneurs and retail customers.
Moreover, the move forms part of the bank’s strategy to complement its digital-first model with targeted service points in high-activity commercial locations, supporting Dubai’s business ecosystem and the UAE’s digital economy agenda.
SME-focused services in a hybrid format
The City Walk branch was designed primarily to serve SMEs and business clients. Additionally, it offers onboarding support, business current accounts, payroll and Wage Protection System (WPS) solutions, merchant acquiring and integrated payment services.
The site also provides relationship-led advisory services. Furthermore, it offers select cash management and transaction banking capabilities for corporate clients.
Retail customers, however, will continue to access personal banking products including current and savings accounts, personal finance, Jaywan debit cards, Aani instant payments and digital onboarding through UAE Pass.
Expanded on-site capabilities
The branch includes teller services, customer service counters, ATMs and Multi Functional Kiosks (MFKs). As a result, customers can print debit cards and cheque books, while also completing selected self-service transactions on-site.
The opening ceremony was attended by Tariq Al Masaood, Chairman of Mbank, Abdulla Al Mazrouei, Board Member, and Mohammad Wassim Khayata, Chief Executive Officer, alongside senior management and corporate clients.
Mohammad Wassim Khayata, CEO of Mbank said, “The opening of our City Walk Dubai branch reflects our commitment to being closer to our customers and contributing to the continued growth of Dubai’s dynamic economy. This location has been specifically designed to serve SMEs and corporate clients, while also supporting the broader banking needs of individual customers. It also responds to the increasing demand for hybrid banking models that combine digital convenience with in-person advisory and transaction support. Dubai remains one of the region’s most vibrant economic centres, particularly for entrepreneurs and growing businesses. Through this expansion, we are bringing Mbank’s technology-led banking model closer to customers while supporting business growth, innovation, and financial inclusion.”
Strategy supports wider UAE expansion
The new branch reinforces the bank’s approach of scaling through customer-centric locations that integrate digital banking with in-person support. Therefore, it supports broader efforts to deepen SME banking, payments and business services across the UAE.
Mbank operates under a Central Bank licence and continues to expand its hybrid network, combining mobile channels with a growing physical presence nationwide.
