DOHA: Barwa Bank has been named the winner of Banker Middle East Industry Awards 2013 for “Best Islamic Bank”, “Best Sukuk Arranger” and “Fastest Growing Bank in Qatar”, a press statement said yesterday.
Chief Executive Officer of Barwa Bank, Steve Troop, was also recognised receiving the “Banker of the Year” award during the ceremony held recently in Dubai.
Organised by CPI Financial, the annual Banker Middle East Industry Awards sets the benchmark for successful banking and financial institutions in the Mena region and winning these four awards is an accomplishment for Barwa Bank.
Troop said: “We are honoured to be acknowledged by CPI Finance through these Awards: they are a reflection of our commitment to growth and to building an innovative and customer focused Shariah-compliant bank that can lead the way in this growing sector.”
This is the second year Barwa Bank has been recognised as the “Fastest Growing Bank in Qatar” by Banker Middle East Industry Awards for its unrivalled expansion; growing to encompass six branches in Qatar, as well as integrating three other companies - First Investor, First Finance and First Leasing — in less than four years of operation.
Barwa Bank, established in 2008, has been able to demonstrate its presence in the market while competing with other leading banks that have been established for a far longer time, providing its clients quality products and services tailored to specific customer groups. The Peninsula
