All the latest news from Al Etihad Payments, the national payment entity and subsidiary of the Central Bank of the UAE
aep-cbuae.omniaconnect.netHere’s the latest I can share based on available sources.
- Bank al Etihad has been in the news for a proposed merger with InvestBank in 2025, which would result in Bank al Etihad acquiring InvestBank 100% in a share-based transaction following approvals at extraordinary general assemblies. This was reported in late 2025 as part of investor updates.
- A Market Mojo/Mojo-style update in January 2026 cited Bank al Etihad financial metrics such as dividend yield around 4.17%, ROCE around 19.1%, and ROE near 9%, with a gross NPA around 5.5% and a high credit-deposit ratio, indicating a mixed valuation environment and ongoing profitability alongside asset quality concerns.
- Other coverage highlights include past governance changes, such as leadership transitions in 2024 and 2025, and capital-raising moves tied to previous approvals by the Jordan Securities Commission.
If you’d like, I can pull the specific passages and provide a concise timeline or summarize the merger status as of the latest available dates, and I can add a short, cited bullet list of key financial indicators.
