Kuwait - 12 June 2008: Gulf Bank launches another new benefit on its credit cards whereby cardholders can now get complimentary unlimited access to business lounges world wide. This new initiative demonstrates Gulf Bank's commitment in providing selective and unique services that reflect the sophisticated demands of its customers.

The Airport Lounge Access on Gulf Bank credit cards is unique as it allows every credit card holder entry for up to two people, the cardholder and a guest, simply by presenting the card at the entrance of the lounge.

The newly introduced Airport Lounge Access feature is available on all Gulf Bank MasterCard and Visa Credit Cards. All Platinum and Infinite credit card holders can now enjoy free unlimited access to airport lounges. And for the first time, even Classic and Gold cardholders can enjoy unlimited airport lounge services, at a small subscription fee.

"We believe our customers are special and they deserve the best of services. We are devoted to creating new features for our customers that will maximize their benefits. Simply by presenting their credit cards, our customers will gain access to exclusive lounges at over 30 most popular airports. This service is our latest promise to ensure the most comfortable travel experiences for our customers, whenever and however they travel," said Nazem Alqana"e, GM of Retail Banking and GM Support.
