This dual recognition underscores AUB’s exceptional performance and leadership in the Islamic banking sector in Bahrain. The awards were announced as part of Global Finance’s 32nd annual World’s Best Banks Awards and the 18th annual World’s Best Islamic Financial Institutions Awards. “We are honoured to be recognized as both the Best Bank in Bahrain and Best Islamic Bank in Bahrain by Global Finance.

The awards highlight AUB’s successful transition to Islamic banking in 2023, as well as its continued excellence in providing Shari’a-compliant financial services. This recognition follows AUB’s recent honour as the “Best Islamic Bank in Bahrain 2024” by EMEA Finance.

Global Finance’s rigorous selection process considers a wide range of factors, including growth in assets, profitability, strategic relationships, new business development, product innovation, and customer satisfaction. The magazine’s editorial team makes the final selections after extensive consultations with bankers, corporate finance executives, and analysts worldwide.

These awards reaffirm AUB’s position as a leading Islamic financial institution in Bahrain, recognised for its strong performance, innovative product offerings, and commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its customers in the Islamic banking sector.
