Deputy General Manager for International Banking and Investment, Abdullah Al-Marzouq stated while receiving the award in London, that KFH received numerous awards last year from prestigious local, regional, and international bodies in various fields. He added that rating agencies affirmed KFH’s ratings due to its accomplishments in various fields of Islamic banking and the society.

Moreover, he mentioned that the indicators achieved last year, whether in profits or achievements related to operative performance, ensure that KFH is on the right track. He explained that despite the fact that KFH has received the most awards in various fields of its business, it continues to search for other fields to make further accomplishments, in order to continue spearheading the field of Islamic banking. He revealed that KFH managed to adhere to Islamic Shariah while using cutting-edge technology, which allowed KFH to overcome countless obstacles.
