“We look forward to enabling such self-service and digital services across all BisB branches to facilitate our customers’ daily banking transactions and simplify their lives.”

In 2017, the Bahrain bank launched ‘BisB Digital’ initiative. It includes all forms of digital services including online, mobile and video banking to support the digitisation.

In October last year, we reported that National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) is planning to acquire stake in BisB.

NBB said in a filing that the move is subject to completion of diligence investigations, internal pricing assessment as well as board and shareholder approvals.
