Abu Dhabi-listed RAK Bank has appointed former Standard Chartered banker Vishal Shah to head its business banking group, signalling a renewed push to expand services for small and mid-sized enterprises across the UAE.
Shah joins as managing director and head of business banking, the Ras Al Khaimah-based lender said in a LinkedIn update. He brings more than 25 years of experience spanning SME, commercial and retail banking, as well as digital transformation initiatives across Asia and the Middle East.
Shah most recently served as group head of business banking at GXS Bank in Singapore. Prior to that, he spent about 17 years at Standard Chartered, where he held a range of senior roles across key regional markets.
