In addition, Al-Qattan said that the Bank provides its customers with a wide selection of credit cards with the largest cashback rewards program and the fastest points program in Kuwait. Gulf Bank cardholders can exchange their points for free airline tickets and special travel offers, as well as enjoy a wide range of exclusive offers, instant discounts, and valuable prizes.

He emphasized the Bank's keenness to satisfy customers by providing them with a distinctive banking experience, a testament to the "Best Innovation in Customer Experience" award the Bank won at last year’s Future Enterprise Awards.

Al-Qattan pointed out that Gulf Bank provides its customers with one of the largest local branch network among Kuwaiti banks, boasting 53 branches since the opening of the Bank’s two newest branches in Crystal Tower and Kuwait International Airport (which is now operating 24/7).

Gulf Bank branches also offer advanced digital services that meet the needs and requirements of various categories and segments of customers, through Gulf Bank's website and mobile app.

As part of its continuous efforts to improve customer experience, Gulf Bank aims to complete customers’ transactions at any branch within minutes, and answer customer calls in the Customer Contact Center within a few seconds.
