Kuwait Finance House

About Kuwait Finance House

We’re proud to be pioneers in our sector. Founded in 1977 in the State of Kuwait, we were the country’s first Islamic bank, and today we continue to lead the way in Islamic finance. Islamic banking is compliant with Shari’a religious law and guided by the Islamic principles of an integral and just society. Transparency and honesty sit at the heart of this approach, which aims to benefit both the bank and its customers. Committed to evolving to meet the changing needs of our global customers, we offer a broad range of Islamic financial services and products, including real estate, trade finance, investment portfolios, and commercial, retail, and corporate banking. Our growing network spans seven regions with 640 branches, around 800 ATMs, and 8,600 team members worldwide. Our ambitions have always extended beyond our home country. Over the past nearly 50 years, we have grown steadily, becoming one of the biggest lenders in local and regional markets and a major player within the wider banking industry. KFH (KSE: KFIN) is a publicly listed company on the Kuwait Stock Exchange (KSE). As of 31 December 2013, our largest shareholders included the Kuwait Investment Authority (Direct), Kuwait Awqaf Public Foundation (Direct), Public Authority for Minors’ Affairs (Direct), and The Public Institution for Social Security (Indirect).
