About Kuwait Banking Association

The Kuwait Banking Association (KBA) was formed in 2001, replacing the Kuwait Banking Committee. The Chairmen of the local banks agreed to strengthen cooperation, coordinate to address common issues, keep informed about developments in banking systems, and raise employee standards. Today KBA consists of 22 bank members, including 11 associate foreign banks. KBA aims to support links between local banks, surrounding Arab states, and beyond, including coordination with the Central Bank of Kuwait.
