Abu Dhabi National Takaful Company PSC (Arabic: شركة أبوظبي الوطنية للتكافل ش.م.ع.) -- known simply as Takaful, تكافل, or ADNTC -- was established in 2003[1] by the Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank (ADIB) and Abu Dhabi Investment Company. It is a powerful player in the UAE takaful market[2] based in Abu Dhabi, offering a range of takaful products including motor, property, general accidents, family, medical, engineering and Marine cargo coverage.[3] Its shares are traded on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange as TKFL.[4]

In 2014, it underwent a review of its wakala fee structure which improved the balance of earnings between the participant and shareholder funds. In 2015 ADIB became a significant shareholder with a 41.7 percent interest.[5]
