We see the cultivation of financial awareness and the strengthening of customer relationships as essential to success in the banking industry. These efforts are crucial in guiding society toward a greater understanding of digital banking advancements, and in helping to prevent the increasing threats of fraud, phishing, and other harmful attempts to steal data and money.”
  Al-Nasser highlighted that: “The Bank’s representatives took an active role in interacting with The Warehouse Mall visitors, showcasing our products and services while offering key information on banking rights, responsibilities, and the protection of personal data as outlined by CBK's guidelines. They emphasized the need for secure banking practices in today’s rapidly changing financial environment and addressed the growing concerns around fraud.” She added that: “KIB will continue to strengthen its financial awareness efforts by positioning its special booths in busy locations to enhance financial literacy across society and directly engage with a wide range of people to better grasp their banking needs.”
