Commercial Bank of Dubai (CBD): UAE KYC Blockchain Platform is part of Dubai Economy’s vision to enhance business competitiveness and accelerate the digital transformation of the UAE economy.

Launched in February 2020, the UAE KYC Blockchain Platform is an initiative by Dubai Economy and a consortium of six banks. The platform aims to facilitate secure digital customer onboarding, instant bank account functionality, automated data updates, and sharing of verified KYC (Know-Your-Customer) data between licensing authorities and financial institutions.

The platform is powered by enterprise blockchain firm norbloc and is part of Dubai Economy’s vision of enhancing business competitiveness and accelerating the digital transformation of the economy in the UAE.  

It is supported by regulators such as Central Bank of UAE and Smart Dubai who will play a significant role in the network expansion and governance.

“Dubai Economy and CBD have in the past fostered a strong and long-term partnership to support ease of doing business for investors and businesses in UAE. We are delighted that CBD is amongst the first financial institutions in UAE to go live on the UAE KYC Blockchain Platform, which now allows licensed investors and businesses to digitally open instant bank account and for banks to receive real-time data updates on their clients,” said Omar Bushahab, CEO of Business Registration and Licensing (BRL) Sector in Dubai Economy.

Bushahab noted that the Dubai Economy licences hosted on the Platform account for approximately 40% of all licences in the UAE.

“The project is in full alignment with the vision of the UAE Government to promote digitisation as well as business sustainability, and provides a seamless experience to investors and businesses seeking to establish themselves in the UAE. We invite other licensing entities, free zones and financial institutions to join and leverage this market-leading initiative that is fully tested and proven to be invaluable and sustainable,” he said.

The UAE KYC Blockchain platform now has CBD along with Emirates NBD, which was the first banking group to go live on the platform, and the ecosystem continues to expand with ADCB, HSBC and RAKBANK scheduled for Q1 2021, as well as the joining of additional banks and free zones. The next milestone will be the official release of the Consortium Agreement that will govern the ecosystem and outline how data will be shared between its members.

Dr. Bernd van Linder, CEO of Commercial Bank of Dubai, said, “We are delighted to be amongst the first banks in the UAE to go live with the UAE KYC Blockchain Consortium, initiated by Dubai Economy. CBD has always been committed to accelerate the growth of the UAE economy and enhance the overall business climate by adopting innovative digital tools and technology and delivering a seamless banking experience, in line with our ‘Default Digital’ strategy.”

He also highlighted that the UAE KYC Blockchain Consortium will play a vital role in improving the customer onboarding journey and facilitating a faster and more secure digital KYC process using advanced blockchain-powered distributed technologies leading to enhanced ease of doing business in the UAE.
