The Arab Bankers Association of North America (ABANA) has been an important bridge between the financial sectors in North America and the Middle East-North Africa (MENA) region for over twenty-five years. ABANA is a not-for-profit professional association with members from the financial services and related industries. Through its programs, ABANA provides its members with access to timely business intelligence, with opportunities to make meaningful professional connections and with direct contact to leaders in their fields. The association acts as a forum for policy discussions to enhance understanding of the business culture, as well as capital and trade flows between North America and the MENA region; and it provides visiting business leaders with a focused platform from which to connect to the right audience when in the United States. In its programs and outreach, ABANA endeavors always to foster and strengthen ties between the US and the Middle East.
