COMPANY DESCRIPTION

Established in the 1960's as a means to offer joint banking services for the Arab world holistically by a Palestinian entrepreneur in New York, Arab Bank has since grown into the largest Arab banking branch network worldwide with over 400 branches in 29 countries, spanning five continents.

Headquartered in Amman, Jordan, Arab Bank has provided competitive products to its customers based on demand, and introduced two Sharia-complaint funds in early June from its Islamic banking division in tandem with the rising popularity of Islamic finance in the Middle East.
