A First Among Local Banks…BisB Empowers Corporate and SME Clients with Seamless Multi-Currency Account Opening via BisB Digital

13-October-2025

Bahrain Islamic Bank (BisB), the leading provider of innovative Islamic financial solutions for simplifying money matters in the Kingdom of Bahrain, has introduced a new online service that enables existing corporate and SME customers to open multi-currency accounts directly through the BisB Digital platform.

The new service allows customers to open three types of accounts: Current, Savings, and Call with a fully automated, straight-through processing (STP) journey. Once enabled via a simple consent prompt upon login, users can open accounts with just a few clicks, selecting the desired product and currency without the need for assistance from their Relationship Manager.

The accounts offer flexible options across eight currencies, including Bahraini Dinar (BHD), U.S. Dollar (USD), Saudi Riyal (SAR), Euro (EUR), British Pound (GBP), Emirati Dirham (AED), Swiss Franc (CHF), and Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD). This flexibility empowers businesses to manage their finances across multiple currencies, tailored to their operational and treasury needs.

Mr. Yousif Ali Engineer, Acting Chief Corporate and Institutional Banking Officer at BisB, said, “This new service reflects our commitment to simplifying banking for our corporate clientele. By enabling multi-currency account opening, we are not only saving our customers valuable time but also empowering them with greater control and flexibility. Corporate clients often need to open several accounts across different currencies to support cross border operations or segregate funds for specific business units. With this solution, they can do so instantly and securely, without leaving their office. It is another step in our mission to deliver smart, secure, and accessible digital services that truly respond to our customers’ operational realities.”

The initiative marks another milestone in BisB’s ongoing efforts to enhance the customer experience by promoting convenient self-service banking. The Bank continues to lead the way in offering value-added digital solutions tailored to the needs of Bahrain’s SME and corporate segments.
