Ajman Bank commemorated the 41st National Day by planting 50 Union Trees in response to the initiative launched by HH Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai and in line with the directives of HH Shaikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Ajman Bank’s Director and Chairman of Ajman Municipality.

The 50 trees were distributed by the Bank, in collaboration with Ajman Municipality, to 50 UAE National staff members who planted them at various locations in the Emirate of Ajman.

The initiative came in line with a series of celebrations that the Bank staff organized throughout its network across the UAE, with an objective to recognize the spirit of national unity and bring together the community to celebrate the culture and heritage of the country.

Mohamed Amiri, Acting Chief Executive Officer, Ajman Bank, said: “We are honoured to support the Union Tree initiative, which serves to instill the love of the nation in the citizens’ hearts and reflects the process of development and prosperity in the country.” He also added: “On the 41st anniversary of the founding of the United Arab Emirates, all of us at Ajman Bank join in the spirit of unity that has long defined this great nation. Ajman Bank looks forward to making a continued contribution to our nation’s growth story by supporting individuals and businesses across the seven emirates.”

Amiri urged Ajman Bank’s employees to plant one Union Tree each in their respective homes and premises and show their love for their country and the Union.

Ajman Bank started its operations in 2009. It now operates with 12 branches spread across the Emirates. In a challenging financial environment, Ajman Bank maintained earnings momentum recording a breakthrough performance for the third quarter of the current year with a 623% increase in net profit recorded by the end of September 2012, compared to the same period in 2011.
