Another trip to finalise the transfer of the retail side of the bank in Bahrain. Another great local team, supported by a robust central management, ensured a smooth transaction.
HSBC has sold its retail banking operations in Bahrain to the Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait (BBK). This transfer includes approximately 76,000 customer accounts and is part of HSBC’s global restructuring strategy. The transaction was completed on the 30th of November 2025, and BBK will continue to offer services to HSBC customers, including retail loans, deposits, and credit cards.
