KFH Bahrain Recognised as Bahrain's Best Transaction Bank 2025 by Euromoney

KFH Bahrain has been recognised as Bahrain's Best Transaction Bank for 2025 by Euromoney, acknowledging the bank's successful transformation of its transaction banking capabilities following the completion of the AUB-KFH merger.

The award highlights KFH Bahrain's ability to combine Islamic finance principles with digital transaction services for corporate clients, including cash management, trade finance, and payments. Euromoney praised the bank's strategic precision and digital innovation in building competitive corporate banking capabilities.

The recognition is particularly significant given that KFH Bahrain, formerly Ahli United Bank, has been undergoing a major transformation as part of the landmark merger with Kuwait Finance House. The Euromoney award suggests that the merger integration has strengthened rather than disrupted the bank's transaction banking operations.

KFH Bahrain's corporate banking proposition combines the depth of AUB's established Bahrain franchise with KFH Group's technology capabilities and global Islamic banking expertise. The merged entity's combined balance sheet exceeding $120 billion provides the scale to invest in the digital infrastructure needed for competitive transaction banking.

Euromoney's Awards for Excellence are among the most respected recognitions in international banking, with winners selected through a rigorous evaluation process. The transaction banking award assesses capabilities across payments, cash management, trade finance, and securities services.

The award reinforces KFH Bahrain's position in the competitive Bahraini corporate banking market.
