Gargash Goup, the UAE-based conglomerate, has bought out Deem Finance, the financial services provider, for an undisclosed sum.
The conglomerate has businesses in automotive, real estate and non-banking financial services sectors. With the acquisition it hopes to widen its offerings.
“This is a transformational transaction that will allow us to reimagine financial services in a way that the success of our brands is aligned with the financial success of our customers,” said Shehab Gargash, managing director and group CEO of Gargash Group.
The company has a strong presence in the non-banking financial services sector for 23 years through Daman Investments, which offers services including asset management, securities brokerage and wealth management.
The newly acquired company, Deem Finance, offers credit cards, personal loans and wholesale deposit products to UAE corporate clients.
