Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank

Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank is 65 percent owned by the state-controlled Abu Dhabi Investment Council, and is the United Arab Emirates' third-biggest bank by assets.

The bank changed its name from Khalij Commercial Bank to Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank after merging with Emirates Commercial Bank and Federal Commercial Bank on 1 July 1985.

The bank is a public shareholding company with limited liability, and was incorporated in Abu Dhabi in 1975, to carry on retail, commercial, investment and merchant banking through a 33-branch network spread across the UAE, in addition to two branches in India and an offshore banking unit in the Cayman Islands.
