Arab Bank “Best Bank in the Middle East 2025”

Arab Bank recently received the “Best Bank in the Middle East 2025” award from New York-based Global Finance magazine, reinforcing its strong leadership position in the regional banking sector.

This international recognition was granted following a detailed selection process by Global Finance editors, who consulted corporate financial executives, banking consultants, and analysts worldwide.

Global Recognition Backed by Strong Performance

The award evaluation considered several key criteria, including asset growth, profitability, geographic expansion, strategic partnerships, product innovation, and market development efforts. Input from equity analysts, credit rating agencies, and banking industry experts also played a pivotal role in determining the winners.

Global Finance Awards cover more than 150 countries, territories, and districts across Africa, Asia-Pacific, the Caribbean, Central America, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, North America, and Western Europe—making this recognition one of the most reputable in the global financial industry.

Commenting on the achievement, Ms. Randa Sadik, CEO of Arab Bank, stated:
“This global recognition affirms the vision and commitments embedded in our refreshed brand identity—where each milestone drives us toward even greater aspirations. It reflects our unwavering commitment to customer-centricity, innovation, and agility, all underpinned by our core philosophy of building lasting connections.”
