Sharing and CelebratingÔÇôAn Update from UAE Exchange Bahrain
Thursday, 01 December 2016We celebrated our dear customers during the Customer Service Week this October. Our customers returned the love by becoming our brand ambassadors and spreading good words about our service. We had a gala time with our customers during the eventful dinner party weÔÇÖd organised.
On World Food Day we organised a breakfast party and invited our customers to share their first meal of the day with us. It was a one of a kind experience for our beloved customers and they thanked UAE Exchange for this memorable moment.
We also conducted fun games and activities at the branches giving an opportunity for staffs and customers to interact and establish a good relationship. FB Photo Contest and distribution of X Boy masks to children made our branches the most happening place in town.
Crowdfunding: What entrepreneurs need to know!
Friday, 14 September 2018Are you an entrepreneur with a brilliant idea, but not enough money to turn your idea into a profitable finished product or service?
While banks may have teams dedicated to financing Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), that option may not be suitable for entrepreneurs just starting a business. To mitigate their own risk, banks will ask for guarantee or collaterals. These are difficult for entrepreneurs to furnish early in the business cycle.
So what can you do? 
You can try other practical alternatives to bank finance. One such great option is crowdfunding. Having emerged as a saviour for start-ups with promising ideas, crowdfunding attract small denomination capital from many people. All you have to do is, use technology to pitch your ideas to a large audience. The crowdfunding revolution was sparked by the very successful Kickstarter.com, which by November 2016 had funded over 115,745 successful projects and raised over USD 2.7 billion in pledged money.
Crowdfunding comes in three basic flavours ÔÇô donation or reward-based, debt-based, and equity-based. Reward-based crowdfunding, as popularised by Kickstarter.com, sees investors give money to promising ideas based on the premise that the project creator will reward them with finished goods and services. For debt-based crowdfunding, the creator or entrepreneur promises to pay back the money borrowed. Meanwhile, equity-based crowdfunding sees the entrepreneur give away a stake in the business to each contributor.
UAE based start-up Beehive enables debt-based peer-to-peer lending. The idea is that investors lend money to promising businesses, and get returns on the capital they have invested. Start-ups benefit from lower capital-raising costs, while investors enjoy higher than average rates of return.
On the other hand, UAE based start-up Eureeca uses technology to enable its investor network to buy shares in promising businesses. These investors range from friends, family and casual investors to angel investors, venture capital funds and institutional investors.
Crowdfunding isnÔÇÖt the only venue available to entrepreneurs. But it certainly is helping plug a large financing gap. The International Finance Corporation (IFC) estimates a USD 2.7 trillion gap in funding for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in developing countries alone, with the MENA region alone needing an additional USD 320 billion in credit for MSMEs.
So if youÔÇÖre in the early stages of bringing your start-up to life, try crowdfunding. ItÔÇÖs a powerful addition to your capital-raising toolbox.

Rescue the Big Cat!
Friday, 14 September 2018Emitting a sublime aura, the gorgeous tiger mesmerises us while strolling around with its bold golden coat, black stripes, amber eyes and strong physique. These glorious creatures are sadly on the verge of extinction now.
On this International Tiger Day, letÔÇÖs take these three practical steps to help save the magnificent tigers.
- Be a responsible tourist. Experience wildlife without polluting or disturbing the ecosystem.
- DonÔÇÖt buy products made from poached tiger parts. Report poaching activities to the concerned authorities. This will help prevent wildlife trade.
- Lend voice to the tigers. Reach out to the public and policy makers about the benefits and importance of habitat conservation for tigers.
What steps have you taken to rescue this big cat?
