Bank ABC Wins Euromoney 'Best Digital Bank in Bahrain' Award for 2025

Bank ABC has been named Best Digital Bank in Bahrain and Best Bank for Sustainable Finance in Bahrain at the Euromoney Awards for Excellence 2025, recognising its digital transformation strategy and ESG commitments.

The digital banking award reflects the success of Bank ABC's mobile-only subsidiary, ila Bank, which has rapidly grown its customer base across Bahrain and the wider region. ila Bank operates as a fully digital platform offering savings, personal finance, and payment services through a streamlined app-based experience.

The sustainable finance recognition highlights Bank ABC's integration of environmental, social, and governance principles into its lending and product development. The bank has been incorporating ESG criteria into credit assessments and developing green finance products that support sustainable economic activity.

Euromoney's Awards for Excellence are among the most respected recognitions in global banking, with winners selected through a combination of quantitative analysis and qualitative assessment by the publication's editorial team. The dual award positions Bank ABC as a leader in both digital innovation and sustainability within Bahrain's competitive banking sector.

Bank ABC, headquartered in Bahrain with a global banking network, has been pursuing a strategy that combines traditional institutional banking with digital innovation through ila Bank. The Euromoney recognition validates this dual approach and suggests that the bank's investment in both technology and sustainability is delivering results that stand out against regional peers.

The awards reinforce Bahrain's reputation as a centre for banking innovation in the Gulf.
