 Manama ----Bahrain: Fintech Robos, at the forefront of transforming savings and pensions administration in MENA region, announces a pioneering initiative to organise a “Thrift Plan Workshop & Solution Demo” for the GCC financial institutions.

The first-of-its-kind initiative in Arab markets, designed exclusively for CEOs, CFOs, CTOs and heads of wealth management and heads of asset management in banks, asset management firms and life insurance companies, provides attending delegates an expert platform to discuss the potential of Thrift Plan offering, size of market demand, product design intricacies, operational management and digital solutions in this space.

Scheduled to take place on 26^th February 2024 at Hilton hotel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the visionary move marks an exciting milestone in creating institutional awareness and business interest amongst financial institutions in launching Thrift Plan (employee pension-savings products), which offers licenced financial providers an unprecedented opportunity to exponentially grow their asset under management (AuM).

“There is an accelerating positive change in favor of institutionalizing employer-sponsored retirement savings (beyond government-run public pension funds) in the region, especially in Saudi Arabia and UAE, and financial institutions that are early adopters of launching these employee savings products will gain a first-mover advantage and surely become the future trailblazer of the region’s asset management industry,” said Ebrahim K Ebrahim, CEO of Fintech Robos.
