EDGE and FAB sign agreement to build resilient financial ecosystem

EDGE Group, one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defence groups, has entered a strategic partnership with First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), the UAE’s global bank. The agreement covers two major financial initiatives: the implementation of FAB’s advanced Supply Chain Finance (SCF) solution and the deployment of its AI-powered Treasury Management System (TMS).

Hamad Al Marar, Managing Director and CEO of EDGE, said: “Our partnership with FAB is a strategic enabler of EDGE’s global industrial ambitions. It reinforces the financial architecture required to operate at scale, with speed and resilience. In an increasingly competitive and complex environment, this alignment ensures we remain agile, well-capitalised, and positioned for sustained international growth.”

Martin Tricaud, Group Head of Wholesale Banking at First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), said: “FAB’s partnership with EDGE marks a step forward in building a more resilient supplier ecosystem. We recognise that effective cash flow and supply chain finance are fundamental to sustainable business models. By combining our global expertise with innovative financial solutions, we are enhancing financial agility and enabling long-term value creation.”

Through FAB’s digital SCF solution, EDGE provides local and international suppliers access to early, low-cost financing, which enhances supplier trust, improves commercial terms, and ensures continuity across critical operations. EDGE’s deployment of FAB’s AI-powered TMS represents the largest to date. The solution delivers real-time cash visibility, advanced forecasting capabilities, and integrated risk management tools, enabling EDGE to automate treasury operations and optimise liquidity across the Group. The platform provides protection for interest rate risk and FX risk, while improving financial agility, investment planning, and funding.
