Mr. Reyadh Yousif Sater, the CE of BBK, said: “To BBK our BBK Lite proposition means much more than excellent banking services. Imbedded in the BBK Lite proposition there are in fact a number of societal benefits that are making us proud. Not only will BBK Lite add another strategic milestone in solidifying our retail position in Bahrain, it will offer customized products and services serving a mass segment that has been historically underserved by the banking industry. Moreover, the new franchise aims to eliminate the flow of physical cash by collecting and distributing salaries through electronic means, while providing add-on services such as remittances conveniently through bank accounts at very affordable rates.
