Khaleeji Commercial Bank

Khaleeji Commercial Bank is a Bahraini public shareholding Islamic bank headquartered in Manama. The institution was incorporated in the Kingdom of Bahrain on 24 November 2004 under Commercial Registration No. 55133. It operates under an Islamic retail banking licence granted by the Central Bank of Bahrain and conducts its activities in accordance with Islamic Shari'a principles. The bank's business scope covers several areas of Islamic financial services. Its activities include retail banking for individual customers, corporate banking for businesses and institutions, consumer finance, wealth management, structured investment products, and project-financing facilities. These activities position the institution as a full-service Islamic banking provider rather than a narrowly focused finance company. The available reference material does not provide a detailed breakdown of branches, customer numbers, assets, revenues, ownership, leadership, or international operations, so those aspects are not stated here. The bank's corporate identity changed in June 2023, when its commercial name was changed from Khaleeji Commercial Bank B.S.C. to Khaleeji Bank B.S.C. The shortened name reflects the institution's current commercial identity, while the former name remains relevant to its history and to records created before the change. The name change did not, on the available evidence, represent a change from Islamic banking to conventional banking; the institution continued to be described as an Islamic bank operating under Bahrain's Islamic retail banking framework. Khaleeji Bank's market identity is therefore based on Shari'a-compliant banking services delivered in Bahrain. Its portfolio spans personal financial products, business banking, investment and wealth-related services, and financing for larger projects. The bank's institutional setting is Bahrain's regulated banking sector, with the Central Bank of Bahrain identified as the licensing authority for its Islamic retail banking activities. No reliable source material supplied for this entry establishes a separate consumer-facing product brand, a parent group, or a wider international operating footprint. As of the latest information in the supplied reference material, the bank is active and trades under the Khaleeji Bank name. Because the available material is concise, details such as the current chief executive, board composition, listing status, ticker symbol, current website, financial performance, and recent campaigns remain unconfirmed and are left unspecified.

Khaleeji Commercial Bank was incorporated in the Kingdom of Bahrain on 24 November 2004. Its incorporation was recorded under Commercial Registration No. 55133, establishing the institution as a Bahraini public shareholding company. From its foundation, the bank's business model was based on Islamic finance and on the provision of banking and financing services compatible with Islamic Shari'a principles. The bank operates from Manama and holds an Islamic retail banking licence granted by the Central Bank of Bahrain. Its stated business activities extend across retail banking, corporate banking, consumer finance, wealth management, structured investment products, and project financing. This range gives the institution a broad banking profile, combining services for individuals with financing and investment services for companies and larger projects. The available historical record does not provide a detailed chronology of branch expansion, acquisitions, ownership changes, executive appointments, financial results, or product launches. It does establish that the bank remained part of Bahrain's regulated Islamic banking sector and that its operations were conducted under the country's central-bank licensing framework. A significant identity milestone occurred in June 2023, when the institution changed its commercial name from Khaleeji Commercial Bank B.S.C. to Khaleeji Bank B.S.C. The change marked a transition from the longer historical name to the shorter Khaleeji Bank identity. References to Khaleeji Commercial Bank therefore describe the same Bahraini banking institution under its former commercial name, while Khaleeji Bank is the later name identified in the available source material. The name change did not alter the basic characterization of the institution in the supplied references. It continued to be described as an Islamic bank headquartered in Manama and providing services under Islamic banking principles. Its principal areas remain retail and corporate banking, consumer finance, wealth management, structured investments, and project financing. The current information available for this dossier is insufficient to document the bank's present ownership, listing particulars, senior management, financial scale, branch network, digital channels, or activities outside Bahrain. Those fields are therefore left unconfirmed rather than inferred.
