MANAMA, BAHRAIN – 11 January 2015 – Ithmaar Bank, a Bahrain-based Islamic retail bank, announced that it inaugurated a new drive-through Automated Teller Machine (ATM) at the Isa Town fuel station. This brings the total number of ATMs in Ithmaar Bank’s fast growing retail banking network to 46, including 17 at full service branches, at strategic locations across Bahrain.
The new offsite ATM, said Ithmaar Bank General Manager Retail and Private Banking, Abdul Hakeem Al Mutawa, was installed in direct response to customer demands and underscores the Bank’s commitment to listening carefully, and responding quickly, to customer needs.
The new ATM, which is designed to be accessible from the comfort of a customer’s car, is located within the Bapco fuel station in Isa Town, near the popular Isa Town Mall as well as the traditional outdoor Isa Town Market and the busy car servicing and mechanical repairs stations. The ATM features sophisticated technology that allows for both additional security features, as well as advanced services including real-time cash deposits and card-less access to cash through Ithmaar Bank’s award winning MobiCash solution.
“Ithmaar Bank is committed to becoming the region’s premier Islamic retail bank,” said Al Mutawa. “To do so, we listen carefully to our customers and we work hard to ensure we grow continuously closer to them,” he said.
“This latest addition to our retail banking network is located in an exceptionally busy area with a tremendous amount of activity nearby,” said Al Mutawa. “We are confident that it will help improve our customer’s Islamic banking experience, and contribute to making everyone’s lives a little easier,” he said.
