KUWAIT: In line with its commitment to offering the best banking experience that fulfills its customers’ varied needs, Burgan Bank opened its newest branch in Al-Daiya under the patronage and in the presence of Capital Governor Sheikh Abdullah Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah, joined by Fadel Mahmoud Abdullah, Chief Executive Officer– Kuwait, and Manaf Al-Menaifi, Acting General Manager – Retail Banking Department at Burgan Bank, and Salem Al-Ostath, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Daiya Cooperative Society, in addition to senior executives and officials from the Bank and the Capital Governorate. With the opening of the new Al-Daiya branch, the Burgan Bank network grew to 29 branches in Kuwait and 125 branches in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), which comes as part of the bank’s dedicated strategy for expanding its suite of services and products domestically and globally.

On this occasion, Sheikh Abdullah Salem Al-Ali Al-Sabah expressed his delight about the Al-Daiya branch opening and praised the efforts exerted and the central role played by Burgan Bank in providing top-tier banking services and products that meet customers’ needs and aspirations across the Capital Government and Kuwait. He further underscored the vital role of the Kuwaiti banking sector in achieving a sustainable nationwide economic and development renaissance, which effectively contributes to realizing Kuwait’s Vision 2035. The Capital Governor extended his thanks to the Bank’s Kuwait - CEO and Senior Management for the committed efforts exerted toward opening the new branch, wishing them the best in remaining abreast of the latest in the banking industry.

“Stemming from our promise to be ‘Driven by You’, we are delighted to announce the inauguration of our latest branch in Al-Da’iya neighborhood, which brings us closer yet to our customers and key demographics,” said Al-Menaifi. “Guided by its robust strategy, Burgan Bank continues to uphold its commitment to the growth and development of its services. The opening of the Al-Da’iya branch marks our eighth branch in the Capital Governorate alone. This reflects our success in expanding our network of branches, facilitating customers’ access to our complete suite of products and services across Kuwait. Furthermore, it cements our commitment to offering the best-in-class banking service that keeps pace with customers’ evolving aspirations and the global banking industry trends.”

Al-Menaifi added: “The new Al-Daiya branch stands out for its modern design and comprehensive services, which enable customers to open accounts, request loans, apply for credit cards, and other transactions including cash transfer, withdrawal and deposit, as well as currency exchange. Equipping the branch with the latest technologies was also central to its design, allowing us to offer our customers a banking experience that is in line with the rapid developments reshaping the banking sector. We also sought to integrate ourselves into the local community as a concerned corporate citizen even before opening. That is why as part of our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitment and efforts to spread environmental awareness about the importance of green spaces among members of society, we spearheaded an initiative to greenify and beautify a nearby park area in Al-Daiya. The park provides a safe and engaging community space, complete with a kids play area, further enriching the quality of life for local residents and overall contributing to a more sustainable environment.”

He further pointed out that the Burgan team at the new branch was a major point of consideration during the construction process: “The branch is managed by a fine selection of our most experienced and efficient employees to guarantee that our customers are offered the best services and products possible. Our commitment to providing modern and advanced services and facilitating banking procedures and transactions is a core aspect of the unique banking experience that we seek to offer our customers, which we continue to deliver through a wide range of efficient and highly secure solutions.”

It is worth noting that the Al-Daiya branch operates throughout the week between 8.30 am and 3 pm to provide the best services and products to the residents of Al-Daiya and the surrounding areas. Outside of these hours, Burgan Bank’s advanced digital services are available 24 hours a day on the website, the Burgan Mobile application, and via SMS and WhatsApp, with the ability to open a Kanz account in less than a minute through the application.
