Kuwait Finance House-Bahrain (KFH-Bahrain) is offering even greater convenience to its customers by adding SMS Banking to its service channels. This easy to use free service updates customers on all activities regarding their transactions with the bank via their mobile phones anytime and anywhere in the world. SMS Banking is yet another value added service that KFH-Bahrain provides to ensure greater customer satisfaction. SMS Banking is an electronic banking channel created to allow customers to make a variety of transactions and access information at their convenience. Customers can now have instant access to their account 24/7 and will automatically receive alerts as soon as a transaction is made, whether in their bank account, credit card, Baytik Ijara or ATM card, thus enabling the customers to keep track of their account activities at all times. KFH-Bahrain continues to extend its portfolio of products, services, ATM and branch network and this new SMS service compliments the recent launch of the e-Banking service (www.kfhbonline.com). Mr. Abdulhakeem Alkhayyat, Managing Director and CEO of KFH-Bahrain, commented "This new initiative is part of the bank's drive to provide alternative channels through which our customers can manage their banking needs. The launch of the SMS Banking service consolidates KFH-Bahrain's position as a market leader in the use of technology-led financial services and products. It is in line with our philosophy of meeting our customers' financial needs by not only offering innovative products and services but also delivering them in a way which is both convenient and secure."
