Financial markets are at the forefront of technology as speed and volume give advantage to traders. Established in 1971, Al Fardan Exchange has built a network that spans all Emirates and offers secure transactions through over 150 global corresponding banks, financial institutions, and other financial services providers.
The Al Fardan Group, of which the Exchange is a key business, was founded in 1954 by Hassan Ibrahim Al Fardan and centred around the jewellery and natural pearl trade. Pearl trading at the time was a vital part of the economy and happened across multiple currencies. The Exchange was founded to manage these currencies and quickly went from a side business to becoming one of the largest exchange houses in the UAE and the region.
Hasan Fardan Al Fardan, CEO at Al Fardan Exchange, explains how the mission and the vision of the company have changed over the years.
