Kuwait Finance House – Bahrain, a leading Islamic bank and major contributor to the development of Bahrain’s Islamic financial services sector, has announced postponing the personal financing installments for all Bahrainis and residents’ individual clients and corporates for six months starting from March without any additional fees or profits.

This decision is in line with the instructions of the leadership and the Central Bank of Bahrain’s initiatives, which urged all banks and microfinance institutions in Bahrain to defer collecting financing installments from the clients.

Commenting on this decision, Mr. Abdulhakeem Alkhayyat, Managing Director and CEO of Kuwait Finance House – Bahrain, said: “This initiative stems out of our responsibility to the community under this exceptional circumstance, and augments the efforts spearheaded by the Government of the Kingdom of Bahrain through the CBB to help all our clients.”.

Should any client face any difficulty our Call Center agents will be available to assist.”
