“Gulf Bank is always striving to enhance non-banking services for SMEs, to help them operate their business successfully, without having to invest in the purchasing, renting, managing stand-alone warehouses, or hire a specialized team to manage clearance, delivery and inventory transportation. Today, SMEs play an important role in diversifying the Kuwaiti economy, creating job opportunities, and raising the value of entrepreneurship. Hence, Gulf Bank is keen to provide the necessary support in accordance with the Bank’s policies, to promote sustainable growth in SMEs, and the national economy as a whole.”

“In addition to its distinguished role in providing credit financing to this sector, in accordance with the Bank’s policies, Gulf Bank also provides its SMEs customers with electronic banking services, electronic salary transfers, issuance of debit cards, point-of-sale registration services, payment gateways, logistics, advisory and other services for companies.
