Trust is the cornerstone of modern banking. At Al Maryah Community Bank LLC (Mbank), trust is not just a principle; it is the foundation of every innovation and every interaction with our customers. Today, we are proud to announce that Mbank has achieved the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, the most respected global standard for Information Security Management Systems.

This achievement represents more than compliance. It is a declaration of our commitment to protecting customer data and ensuring that every digital experience is secure, reliable, and resilient. In a world where threats are evolving rapidly, this certification demonstrates that Mbank is prepared to meet these challenges head-on.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is the latest version of the international standard for information security management.

By meeting these requirements, we have reinforced our position as a leader in secure digital banking.

The certification was awarded by Accreditation & Registration Services (ARS), a globally recognized authority known for its rigorous audits and adherence to international standards. Their validation confirms that Mbank’s Information Security Management System is not only compliant but exemplary.

Zaheer Mubarak Shaikh, Chief Information Security Officer at Al Maryah Community Bank LLC, said: “Information security is not a checkbox; it is a culture. This certification validates the countless hours our teams have invested in building a resilient security ecosystem. For us, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 is not the finish line. It is the foundation for continuous improvement and innovation in information security management.”

Mohammed Wassim Khayata, CEO of Al Maryah Community Bank LLC, added: “Achieving ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification reflects our vision of building a bank that is not only digital-first, but security-first. This internationally recognized milestone reinforces our commitment to protecting our customers and gives them the confidence that their data is safeguarded through world-class security practices. It is a proud achievement for Mbank and a testament to the trust our customers place in us.”
