Burgan Bank

Burgan Bank is aimed at people in Kuwait who want a straightforward commercial bank with the usual mix of accounts, cards and lending, and by our assessment, it earns its place through plain utility. The real strength of a bank like this is that it does the common jobs without turning them into a project. The trade-off is that it is still a conventional bank, so the experience is built around standard procedures and the patience those require. In practice that gives you a familiar, orderly service rather than anything inventive. Against larger national names it sits a little more as a normal choice than a standout one. Burgan Bank is the sort of place for everyday banking in Kuwait, and it stops being attractive when someone wants a very specialised product set.
