“At UAB, we are committed to building a future-ready bank that embraces innovation to meet evolving regulatory and customer expectations. RegPRISM is a game-changer in how we approach compliance, enabling us to proactively manage regulatory changes with speed, accuracy, and confidence. Our collaboration with Smarbl will accelerate the pace of investment in our growth strategy, with a focus on developing innovative products and services and enhancing customer experience, whilst upholding the highest standards of governance and setting new benchmarks for compliance in the UAE.”
Ajay Raju, Co-Founder of Smarbl, commented that, “Partnering with UAB to launch RegPRISM marks a significant step toward a new standard of AI-driven compliance in the region. By aligning Smarbl’s AI and cloud-native architecture with UAB’s vision for digital-first governance, the platform translates regulatory change into instant, clear, actionable and workflow-ready intelligence—helping the bank safeguard customers, unlock operational capacity, and set a new compliance benchmark for the UAE. Together we’re proving that compliance can be proactive, scalable, and a catalyst for better banking—not just a cost of doing business.”
Zsombor Brommer, Chief Compliance Officer of UAB, added that, “As regulatory frameworks continue to evolve rapidly, financial institutions face increasing pressure to adapt swiftly and effectively. Traditional manual approaches to compliance are resource-intensive and often result in inefficiencies and inconsistencies. UAB is addressing these challenges through RegPRISM, a unified AI-powered platform that continuously monitors regulatory developments, maintains a dynamic regulatory library, and transforms raw regulatory content into structured, contextual workflows.”
By automating end-to-end compliance processes, RegPRISM empowers institutions to mitigate risk, reduce compliance overheads and stay confidently ahead of regulatory change.
