Burgan Bank
Website: www.burgan.com

Burgan Bank was established in 1977 as a public shareholding company. Despite the fact that it is the youngest commercial bank in Kuwait, today, it ranks among the top Kuwaiti banks.

Burgan Bank offers both retail and commercial banking services and is active both in the Gulf region and internationally.

The turning point for Burgan Bank came in the year 1997.The privatisation process of the Kuwaiti government, which began in the same year, reduced government ownership in the bank from 61% to less than 10%. KIPCO now has the single largest stake in the bank. The change in ownership paved the way for a rigorous change in the strategic focus and management style.

The bank has been growing at a consistent pace; Burgan has 24 branches, a testament to their customer focus. The bank currently employs, both Kuwaitis and Non-Kuwaitis that demonstrates the fabric of globalisation and openness in the organisation’s culture.

The bank is currently committed to developing its private banking activities with innovative and diversified investment and financial products, enhancing treasury operations, increasing syndication activities, and expanding the bank's retail products.
