Gulf African Bank Jobs In Kenya.

Gulf African Bank Jobs In Kenya.
The genesis of Gulf African Bank (GAB) can be traced back to 2005 when a group of motivated Kenyans envisioned establishing an islamic bank as an alternative to conventional banking in the country.
By conducting business on the principles of Shari'ah, the bank would provide an ethical and fair mode of banking for all.
The bank would also leverage the strong historical links between the Gulf and Africa to establish a channel for attracting investments into Kenya. The Bank's name – Gulf African Bank – would become a symbol of this partnership between the Gulf and Africa.

Gulf African Bank is one of the few fully Sharia’h compliant banks operating in this region. Our products address the needs of not just Muslims, but everyone in the market. Some of our innovative products have won awards, and our customer service has been labelled exceptional. We are more than just a financial service provider – we are a real partner in business.
