ADNOC Distribution launches 'Engage'

ADNOC Distribution on Wednesday launched Engage by ADNOC, a retail media network designed to connect brands with customers across its integrated mobility, convenience and digital ecosystem, WAM reported.

Engage by ADNOC is the first full-funnel retail media network operated in the UAE by a mobility and convenience retailer, enabling brands to connect with customers at key moments throughout their daily journeys using data-driven, relevant advertising.

Unlike traditional out-of-home advertising, the platform combines physical and digital media inventory with insights and first-party data from ADNOC Rewards members, enabling brands to run full-funnel marketing campaigns within a single ecosystem.

ADNOC Distribution’s network in the UAE serves nearly 700,000 customers every day across its service stations and attracts more than 250 million annual transactions.

Powered by insights from more than 2.7 million ADNOC Rewards members, Engage by ADNOC helps brands deliver more relevant customer experiences while measuring campaign impact, with all audience insights used in accordance with applicable data privacy requirements and customer consent frameworks.

Jacqueline Elboghdadi, Chief Marketing Officer at ADNOC Distribution, said, “Engage by ADNOC reflects our continued evolution as a mobility and convenience retailer. As we pursue our strategy to accelerate growth in Non-Fuel Retail, we are creating a differentiated network that is designed to unlock new value for brands, consumers and our business.

Every marketer needs the ability to turn audience insights into measurable business outcomes. Through our network and customer data platform, we are enabling more meaningful and measurable advertising across the customer journey, helping brands reach consumers when they are most receptive and clearly measure campaign impact.”

From sofa to station, Engage by ADNOC enables brands to connect with customers across ADNOC Distribution’s digital and physical channels, from the ADNOC Rewards app and online platforms to screens across service stations and Oasis by ADNOC stores.

Enabled by ADNOC Distribution’s AI and Digital Transformation (AIDT) programme, the platform leverages first-party data, analytics and AI to help brands drive consideration and conversion and measure campaign effectiveness. With approximately two-thirds of fuel transactions in the UAE taking place across ADNOC Distribution’s network, it also provides access to one of the country’s highest-frequency consumer audiences.

The launch supports ADNOC Distribution’s Non-Fuel Retail growth strategy, which delivered more than 14 percent year-on-year gross profit growth in 2025 and is underpinned by the company’s strategy to accelerate growth in Non-Fuel Retail.

Engage by ADNOC is expected to generate more than $25 million in cumulative gross profit over its first five years, creating a new scalable revenue stream supported by data, analytics and AI.

Engage by ADNOC brings together a growing ecosystem of strategic partners, including Publicis, Pyxis, a subsidiary of International Holding Company (IHC), LiveRamp and Network International, combining expertise across media, AI, data and measurement. ADNOC Distribution will continue to evaluate opportunities to expand Engage by ADNOC’s capabilities and offerings in line with customer needs and future growth opportunities across its markets.

Bassel Kakish, CEO, Publicis Groupe Middle East & Türkiye, said, “ADNOC Distribution has built one of the UAE’s most compelling consumer ecosystems, creating a unique retail media opportunity for brands. We are proud to partner on Engage by ADNOC and help unlock its scale, audience connectivity and measurable impact for advertisers.”

Mukhles Odeh, CEO of Pyxis, said, “Engage by ADNOC marks a significant leap forward in digital advertising for brands. Through this strategic partnership, we are creating a unique advertising platform that enables brands to connect with customers in real-time, creating impactful and measurable experiences. Together, we are setting new benchmarks for digital advertising and retail media.”

Oliver Klander, Regional Vice President, MENA Brands, LiveRamp, said, “ADNOC Distribution’s coverage and first-party data ecosystem create attractive opportunities for brands. Through privacy-conscious data collaboration and measurement capabilities, we are helping advertisers connect with audiences more efficiently while maintaining responsible data practices.”

Görkem Köseoğlu, Group Chief Customer and AI Officer at Network International, said, “By combining Network’s spend insights with advertising performance, ‘Engage by ADNOC’ gives brands a clearer understanding of campaign effectiveness and business outcomes. Together, we will deliver actionable intelligence that brands can use to make informed decisions.”

FAB Launches the Emirati Jaywan Debit Card

FAB launches the Emirati Jaywan Debit Card, and the country now has a homegrown card sitting inside its biggest bank. The card is live for domestic use. It runs on the UAE national card scheme, the local rails managed by Al Etihad Payments and backed by the Central Bank of the UAE. First Abu Dhabi Bank is the largest lender in the country by assets. So this reads as a real signal, not a pilot.

What the Jaywan debit card does

Here is what you get. The Jaywan debit card handles everyday payments and cash access across the UAE. Tap or dip at local merchant outlets. Online, it works on UAE-based platforms. ATMs nationwide handle cash withdrawals. The card also links to digital wallets through tokenised wallet integration, so your card details get swapped for a secure token on supported devices.

Security sits at the core. The card uses Chip and PIN for in-person buys and 3D Secure authentication online. Your four-digit PIN confirms you are the real cardholder at the till. For a domestic scheme handling millions of daily taps, this layer counts.

Why FAB launches the Emirati Jaywan Debit Card now

Timing tells the story. FAB launches the Emirati Jaywan Debit Card as the national rollout moves from plan to practice. The card is integrated with the FAB Mobile app, so you manage it where you already bank. You watch transactions, handle your account, and run digital servicing from one screen. Al Etihad Payments built Jaywan to localise card payments and cut transaction costs. Keeping this flow inside UAE borders also strengthens national data sovereignty, a point FAB made plainly.

Two names carried the message. Futoon Al Mazrouei, Group Head of Personal, Wealth and Business Banking at FAB, tied the card to trust and customer focus inside the UAE’s financial system. Andrea Ciancetti, Chief Products Officer at Al Etihad Payments, called the FAB launch “a critical milestone for the roll-out of the scheme,” and thanked the bank for making Jaywan real for people nationwide.

How to get the Jaywan debit card

Getting one is simple if you already bank with FAB. Apply through the FAB Mobile app or at a FAB branch. No account with the bank yet? Open an eligible one first, then apply. Elite and Private Banking clients can go through their relationship managers. FAB has not disclosed fees, account tiers, or rewards, so check those points before you commit.

Jaywan is bigger than one card. The scheme, launched in 2024, is the first UAE national card scheme, built to localise payments and lower costs for merchants and banks. First Abu Dhabi Bank is one of the early issuers, with other lenders lining up prepaid and debit products over the coming months. Al Etihad Payments has also signed global networks for co-badged cards, so travel use can follow the domestic base. For now, the FAB card stays inside UAE borders.
