Al Ansari Exchange

Al Ansari Exchange L.L.C, a leading exchange company in the UAE with the largest branch network started as an offshoot of a flourishing general trading business of the Al Ansari family almost 60 years ago; primarily to meet the foreign exchange and remittance needs of their trading partners and customers.

With the gradual evolution and semblance of banking in the mid-1960s, the first branch was opened in Abu Dhabi in 1966. The company has made quick strides thereon and progressed to emerge as one of the largest and most popular exchange companies in the UAE.

Today, Al Ansari Exchange L.L.C boasts of a network of over 180 branches, employing over 2500 multilingual staff who cater to millions of customers with fast, reliable, and efficient service at very competitive charges. Al Ansari Exchange has launched several charitable and social initiatives and programs related to the education, health, and other charities. The company is also active in supporting relief to natural disasters in various regions of the world.

Al Ansari Exchange pledged a contribution of one million dollars at Gavi’s Mid-Term Review Conference in Abu Dhabi on December 2018 to support Gavi programmes for the 2019-2020 period. On 23rd December 2018, Al Ansari Exchange’s Board of Director formally approved its funding to Gavi and has elected to earmark its contribution towards the Measles Programme in Guinea, Nigeria and Senegal.

PROCEEDS TO GAVI FROM DONOR CONTRIBUTIONS & PLEDGES (2021-2025) AS OF 30 June 2021

Proceeds are funds made available to Gavi from donor contributions and commitments, either through cash payments made to Gavi, through frontloading via the capital markets of a future donor commitment to IFFIm, or through AMC funds released to Gavi via the World Bank. IFFIm proceeds are allocated over five-year periods coinciding with Gavi’s strategic periods. Proceeds for the current and future strategic periods are indicative until the end of each period and could be revised following changes in market conditions (interest rates or foreign exchange rates), the signing of new pledge(s) and/or changes in IFFIm’s disbursement profile.

Due to IFFIm’s nature as a frontloading vehicle, yearly contributions paid into IFFIm can differ significantly from yearly proceeds transferred to Gavi.

'While IFFIm grants are irrevocable and legally binding, they are subject to a Grant Payment Condition that can potentially reduce the amount due by the donor in the event that a Gavi-supported programme country is in protracted arrears with the International Monetary Fund. As of 29 June 2021, there is no longer any reduction applied, as all countries from the reference portfolio have cleared their arrears with the IMF.
