Capabilities
What we deliver
Five capabilities that make a market programme work, delivered by the local program provider.
A bank joining the Programme needs more than a contract and a channel. It needs staff who understand cross-border local-currency operations, systems that can hold the throughput the network requires, and material its own market can read in Arabic.
Cross-border regulatory and compliance advisory
Establishing the shared framework that lets two banks in two jurisdictions contract with each other directly.
Read moreLocal-currency treasury matching
Identifying and arranging the counterparty positions that let member banks hold and settle in each other’s currencies.
Read moreInstitutional training and certification
University-accredited programmes for member bank staff, delivered with an education partner.
Read moreNetwork technology assurance
Auditing core banking, switching, card and merchant systems against the throughput standards the network requires.
Read moreProgramme communications
Multilingual publication and localisation, so material developed anywhere in the network reaches each market in Arabic.
Read moreAssessing readiness first
Before any corridor design begins, a member bank is assessed against the DIAMOND framework, which reads institutional capacity across four stages and determines the sequence the rest of the work follows.
Who delivers them
All five are delivered by the local program provider, the joint venture established in each country with a qualified local partner. It is the only entity in the structure that contracts with banks. ArabPay Limited holds regional governance, licenses know-how downward, and earns royalty and licensing income from its subsidiaries and nothing else.
