The Banker Magazine, owned by the Financial Times and based in London, named Arab Bank as Bank of the Year in the Middle East for 2024, for the second consecutive year. The announcement came during The Banker’s "Bank of The Year Awards 2024” ceremony held recently in London and attended by several senior representatives from leading banks from all over the world.
The Banker’s judging panel’s decision to honor Arab Bank with this highly coveted regional award was based on criteria assessing a number of different indicators, including the Bank’s financials, strategy and performance, in addition to other specific indicators, a process that takes over 5 months to conduct.
