The Israeli company uses artificial intelligence to identify cyber financial threats such as fraud and money-laundering.
“It’s almost like a scanning machine,” Gazit told Reuters.
He added that he hoped the deal would lead to more in the UAE and other Gulf states and Arab countries.
Dubai-based Mashreq had previously paid fines for violating U.S. sanctions. The UAE is seeking to increase banking regulations.
