RAKBANK places great emphasis on learning and skill development, and runs its own dedicated training centre, RAK Academy. This centre manages the continuous assessment of each employee’s performance and develops an individual training program to match their needs. New recruits are inducted with ease into the organisation through a six-month Graduate Training Program, and following that, continue to be involved in various courses that are tailored to enhance individual skills.

RAKBANK offers a wide range of personal banking services through its 30 branches and Telephone and Online Banking channels, including its new RAKBANK Direct platform (www.rakbankdirect.ae). It is today considered one of the major players in the UAE’s retail banking and small business sectors.
