Kuwait Finance House Bank B.S.C. (c) (“KFH” or the “Bank”) was established as a bank in Bahrain on July 12, 2000 following a merger between The United Bank of Kuwait PLC (“UBK”) and Al-Ahli Commercial Bank B.S.C. (“ACB”) pursuant to which UBK and ACB each became wholly owned subsidiaries of KFH. The Bank operates under an Islamic retail banking license issued by the Central Bank of Bahrain (“CBB”).

In addition to wholly owned operations of KFH (Bahrain), KFH (United Kingdom) and KFH (DIFC, UAE), KFH has an 95.7% stake in KFH (Egypt), a 80.3% stake in Commercial Bank of Iraq, a 40% stake in United Bank of Commerce & Investment (Libya).

KFH and its network of subsidiaries and associated companies form a banking group (“KFH Group”) providing (i) retail banking; (ii) corporate banking, (iii) treasury and investment services; (iv) private banking and wealth management services.

KFH Group’s diverse geographical footprint provides a conduit to tapping cross border business and investment flows within the MENA region. The KFH Group’s presence in the United Kingdom services the need of its Gulf clients in UK.
