The group comprises Afrasia Bank Limited, Al Ahli Bank of Kuwait, Bank Muscat, Commerzbank, ICICI Bank, Investec Bank (Mauritius), London Forfaiting, Mizuho Bank, National Bank of Ras Al-Khaimah, Standard Chartered Bank, State Bank Mauritius, The Mauritius Commercial Bank, United Arab Bank and Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank.
