An important part of AUBE's offering is to act as a bridge between Egypt and the Gulf. Being part of the larger, Bahrain based Ahli United Bank with subsidiaries in Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Iraq and London allows the Bank to offer seamless services to our customers who need a bank that can support their needs beyond a single country.
