EDGE Group has signed a strategic agreement with First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) aimed at bolstering its financial infrastructure through the adoption of advanced digital finance solutions. The partnership includes the rollout of FAB’s Supply Chain Finance (SCF) platform and its AI-driven Treasury Management System (TMS), covering key aspects of EDGE’s financial operations.
The SCF solution offers EDGE’s suppliers—both domestic and international—access to early, low-cost financing, which the company says will support supplier reliability and help stabilize operational continuity across its global supply chain. In parallel, the deployment of FAB’s AI-powered treasury platform, the largest implementation to date, is designed to automate treasury operations, enhance cash visibility, and manage risk more effectively across the Group.
EDGE’s Group CFO Rodrigo Torres noted that over AED 1.6 billion in supplier invoices have already been processed through the system, facilitating more than AED 1.2 billion in off-balance sheet financing. According to Torres, the tools allow EDGE to maintain greater control over liquidity, improve forecasting accuracy, and strengthen financial planning and governance.
Hamad Al Marar, EDGE’s CEO, stated that the partnership aims to support the Group’s broader industrial ambitions by ensuring a resilient financial backbone capable of operating at scale and adapting to global pressures.
FAB’s Group Head of Wholesale Banking, Martin Tricaud, described the collaboration as part of a wider effort to promote sustainable supplier ecosystems, emphasizing the role of efficient cashflow and finance solutions in building long-term business resilience.
