Sarwa, the personal finance and investment platform, recently launched a new high-yield cash account known as Sarwa Save. Despite the gloomy worldwide economic outlook of late, the new service has been a roaring success, with monthly deposits growing by 250% in just three months.

Sarwa users are increasingly prioritizing short-term savings with generous interest levels, as historically high inflation and aggressive Federal Reserve policies have led to challenging investment conditions.

“We are thrilled to see the rapid adoption of Sarwa Save, which reflects the growing demand for secure high-yield, low-risk products. Sarwa’s customers recognize the value in the offering and trust it with their hard-earned money. This trust has played a pivotal role in the impressive growth. Sarwa Save is a testament to the company’s commitment to providing innovative financial solutions and empowering clients to navigate the evolving economic landscape confidently,” says Shane Shin, Co-founder and Managing Partner, Shorooq Ventures.

In the UAE, most savings accounts offer low to zero interest, while Sarwa Save delivers a rate of 3% — nearly four times the average amount. As well as tempting short-term yields, the new accounts have no monthly or low-balance fees. When combined with hassle-free account setup, Sarwa’s platform makes for an appealing choice compared to traditional banks, especially as the startup offers a special, Sharia-compliant option known as Sarwa Save Halal.

A Three-Clinic Network Bets Dubai Is Ready For Longevity Medicine

Longevium has enlisted nearly 100 clinicians and created an AI platform in a bid to sell biological-age tracking as a medicine, not a wellness service.

Dubai has been busily creating the scaffolding for a longevity industry, including a dedicated regulatory authority and a health market deep enough to sustain it. Now the clinics are arriving.

Longevium, a longevity clinic network, has opened three locations across the city: a flagship at Triple Seven Mall on Jumeirah 3, and branches in Jumeirah Lake Towers and Jumeirah Village Circle. Together they house a multidisciplinary team of nearly 100 physicians and specialists offering what the company bills as “a measurable medical system for longevity”.

The pitch is that longevity medicine should look less like a wellness menu and more like continuous clinical care. Each patient’s biological age assessment, laboratory results, body composition, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic markers, and lifestyle data feed into a single profile, with a proprietary AI platform helping physicians track progress and adjust protocols against the patient’s own biomarkers.

“Healthy aging must be approached clinically through diagnostics, biomarkers, physician supervision, longitudinal tracking, and protocols tailored to the individual,” said Dr. Ksenia Butova, Longevium’s founder and CEO. “Our goal is to help patients understand their health trajectory before disease develops, and then actively change that trajectory”.

The treatment list spans peptide-based protocols, exosome therapies, stem cell approaches, GLP-1 metabolic optimization, hormone balance programs, cardiovascular prevention, and regenerative aesthetics — a model built for the entrepreneurs, executives, and international patients the clinic says want measurable results rather than generic wellness. A signature offering, Longevity Day, compresses biomarker testing, ultrasound and vascular imaging, specialist consultations, IV therapy, and a personalized optimization roadmap into a single three-hour visit.

“Here, longevity, biotechnology, AI, prevention, and regenerative medicine are converging into a single ecosystem,” said Butova. “This is why Longevium was built in Dubai, and why we believe the UAE can become a global reference point for longevity medicine”.

The emirate established the Dubai Longevity Authority in 2026 to oversee its longevity, wellness, and advanced health sectors, and the Dubai Health Authority reported insured beneficiaries exceeding 4.9 million in 2025, up around 6.5%, with insurance claims reaching approximately 49.6 million, up around 13.5%.
