Middle East’s best bank transformation 2025: Kuwait Finance House

Kuwait Finance House (KFH) takes the title of Middle East’s best bank transformation, after the successful acquisition and full operational integration of Ahli United Bank (AUB).   

The transformative milestone marks a bold and complex strategic pivot. It not only created the largest banking merger in Kuwait’s history but also redefined KFH’s positioning as a global Islamic banking powerhouse. 

The transformation was not purely structural. What sets KFH apart is the scale and speed at which it reoriented the acquired institutions around a unified Shariah-compliant banking model.
