Bank of Kuwait and the Arab World opened its doors in 1959. The shareholders at the time were Arab investors; mainly the well-known Kuwaiti Al-Sabbah family and the prominent Baydass Group. They had a mission to serve the Arab countries and a vision to capitalize on an era of prosperity and wealth.
The bank witnessed a rapid growth throughout the years and presented an attractive investment for a group of Lebanese businessmen who took over in 1992 to launch a new dynamic period.
