12 January 2023: Doha, Qatar – AlRayan Bank QPSC (the “Group”) is aware of news circulating in the market about a penalty imposed on AlRayan Bank UK.AlRayan Bank UK, a subsidiary of AlRayan Bank QPSC, is an independent legal entity that operates under the laws and regulations of the United Kingdom. The United Kingdom’s financial services regulator, Financial Conduct Authority or FCA, has completed its review of historic weaknesses in the UK subsidiary bank’s financial crime systems and controls that date back to a period between 2015 and 2017. All identified weaknesses have been fully resolved with the support and assistance of external, independent subject matter experts. The FCA found no evidence of any money laundering or other criminal activity by AlRayan Bank UK nor its customers and none of AlRayan Bank UK’s existing management were in a senior management function at the time. We would like to assure our shareholders, customers, and the public, that the penalty has no material impact on the Group’s overall operations or financial position. For media queries, please reach out to our Corporate Communications team at CC@alrayan.com For investor queries, please reach out to our Investors Relations team at IR@alrayan.com.

AlRayan Bank: Clarification Statement on Penalty Imposed on AlRayan Bank UK.

1.	What were the reasons and factors that led to the merger? 
The merger was brought about by the desire to create one of the largest Shari’a compliant banks in the region, with over QAR 160 billion in total assets. It has created a leading Islamic bank with a robust capital position and strong liquidity to accelerate Qatar’s journey towards its 2030 National Vision, by leveraging its increased scale, compelling product offering, excellent talent base and the industry’s potential to create new sustainable growth opportunities and contribute to shared prosperity.  The merger consolidated the best of both banks to create an entity with an enhanced product and service proposition to better compete in a growing and increasingly sophisticated market segment. Our increased balance sheet and capital means we can better support customers and deliver greater shareholder value.
 2.	After more than a year and a half since the announcement of the merger, what are the most prominent successes achieved by AlRayan Bank?
 The entire seamless integration of our products, services, teams, and overall offerings has to rank among our main achievements. We recently completed our Executive Team, 
 •	Hamad Al Kubaisi		Group Chief Human Resource Officer 
•	Mohammed Al Emadi	Group Chief Business Officer
•	Omar Al Emadi		Group Chief Risk Officer
 •	Stuart Rennie 		Group Chief Operating Officer
  •	Tahir Pirzada			GM, Group Treasurer and Finance Institutions
  •	Mutaz Jamal Fahad Dana 	GM, Group Compliance & AML
 •	Adel Ayad Fayez Attia	GM, Group International Audit
 •	Abdelmonem El Hassan 	GM, Group Legal Counsel
 •	Ronan Dodgson		Acting Group Chief Financial Officer
 •	Eman H. Al-Naemi		AGM, Corporate Communications
 •	Fawzi Mahmoud S. Siam	AGM, Shari’a Audit
 We have advanced our digital offering by providing the facility to add our AlRayan Bank cards to the Apple Pay and Google Wallet so that customers can enjoy the convenience of making payments on the go by using their mobile and wearable devices. 
 A major milestone for us was the launch of the AlRayan Bank Sustainable Finance Framework – Qatar’s first Shari’a compliant green deposit and Islamic sustainable financing framework. This demonstrates our intent to be a key sustainability player in Qatar. Indeed, our sustainability strategy is linked to Qatar’s National Environment and Climate Change Strategy, which outlines a policy framework to protect the nation’s environment. Our subsidiary, AlRayan Investment, is a leading asset management and advisory firm in Qatar that caters to local, regional and international clients. AlRayan Investment has in excess of QAR 5.3bn Assets Under Management and through its advisory services team, it advises local clients on strategic transactions, such as IPOs, merger and acquisitions, sukuk issuances and corporate restructuring. AlRayan Investment is also committed to implementing AlRayan Bank’s Environmental, Social and Governance framework through several initiatives, the latest of which is its social commitment to building a knowledge-based economy in line with the goals of Qatar’s National Vision 2030. Additionally, we launched an award-winning savings account in the UK for which, last year, we were recognized at the Moneyfacts® Awards for the ‘Best Cash ISA Provider’ and were highly commended as the ‘Best Bank Saving Provider.’
3.	Can you tell us more about your commitment to providing career opportunities for Qatari talent?
 We are fully committed to attracting, recruiting, developing, and retaining Qatari talent as part of our support for the National Vision 2030 and its goal of building a knowledge-based economy. We also believe that attracting national talent into the industry will contribute to the development of a robust national banking system, which is why we continue to recruit graduates from Qatar’s schools and universities.  Our commitment to Qatarization is evidenced by the fact that locals comprise 80% of our C’ Level and 30% of management. Our overall Qatarization rate is 36% while  our business teams are entirely led by Qataris as are our Branches. While we prioritize Qatarization, the value of human resources is entirely recognized at AlRayan Bank; our growing team of professionals is highly diverse in nationality and the contributions of all are greatly valued. We make significant investment into the acquisition, training and retention of exceptional local talent to generate the leaders of tomorrow.
 4.	Can you tell us more about the bank’s commitment to ESG goals? 
 In short, we are fully committed to the objectives of ESG as outlined in our Sustainable Finance Framework launched earlier this year, and which the S&P Global Ratings has confirmed as being aligned with the Social Bond Principles, Social Loan Principles, Green Bond Principles, Green Loan Principles, and Sustainability Bond Guidelines. This framework supports the four pillars included in Qatar’s National Vision 2030. It sees AlRayan Bank committed to help Qatar establish advanced educational and health systems as well as a capable and motivated workforce, to participate in enhancing social care and protection, in enabling the private sector to play an essential role in achieving sustainable development by supporting small and medium businesses, and to financing SME and other dedicated projects, such as green buildings and renewable energy. In April this year, we furthered sustainable investment options in Qatar with the launch of the country’s first Shari’a compliant Green Deposit, a unique alternative investment solution that allows Riyal deposits and other major currencies to be deployed for funding green initiatives. This enables clients seeking to incorporate environmental and sustainability goals in their business ambitions to participate in these deposits that finance ESG projects. Additionally, in pursuit of ESG excellence, we built key sustainability features into AlRayan Towers such as energy efficient lighting, solar panels, sustainable water management systems and we segregate waste for recycling. We also recently launched an internal campaign to transform our offices into ‘Go Green’ zones, virtually making them paper-free, digitally enhanced operations with minimal printing requirements.
 5.	What is your vision for the future and how will you increase the bank's resources, size, capacity, efficiency, and ability to compete internally and externally?
 I am excited for the future of the Bank following its merger and our medium-term plans are ambitious. The transformation journey will focus on enhancing our customer experience through service excellence, speed and technology. We are determined to increase the pace at which we digitize AlRayan Bank through greater investments in technology. By adopting a ‘High Tech-High Touch’ approach we will utilize technology to enable speed and growth and become the market leader in this arena; in parallel we will enrich client services, through appropriate segmentation, via our dedicated teams of Private, Premium and Corporate relationship managers. 
These measures will strengthen the links between our local and international footprint in the UAE, France and the UK to better serve our client’s overseas banking requirements.
 AlRayan Bank is foremost Qatar centric, with a focus on the Corporate segment and UHNW Private Banking and Premium banking clients. Our customers are at the heart of everything we do and we recognize the important of long-term  relationships that are of benefit to both parties. AlRayan Bank enjoys strong relationships with Government and Government Related Entities for which we are most grateful.
 As we look to the future our bank will become and Islamic financial powerhouse which will support the prosperity of our clients, development of the nation and enhance the bank’s social progress. 
 6.	What is the market potential for AlRayan Bank in Qatar, which many see as a mature market?
The merger has in fact addressed the issue of a mature market and we see great potential for AlRayan Bank.
 This merger was a turning point in Qatar’s banking sector, which will enable growth for corporates facilitating landmark deals, fostering SME development, and lending and supporting prosperity for our private clients to manage and grow their wealth, and for our retail customers to reach their potential. Additionally, the bank’s primary exposure is to the public sector, which remains secure with Qatar’s ongoing infrastructure development. The merger saw our Foreign Ownership Limit (FOL) increase to 100%, which will help boost the bank’s weight in major indices such as MSCI EM and FTSE EM and contribute to increased foreign institutional ownership in the company. AlRayan Bank is now one of the largest Shari’a compliant banks in the region, and, with a robust capital position and strong liquidity, the bank is in a prime position to accelerate Qatar’s journey towards Vision 2030.
