Burgan Bank announced the launch of “Bdr AI,” the world’s first intelligent voice-based Agentic AI banking solution, enabling customers to execute their banking transactions directly through voice commands via the “Burgan” app. This move reflects the bank’s commitment to leading digital innovation and delivering advanced banking solutions that elevate the customer experience.
The launch of “Bdr AI” aligns with Burgan Bank’s strategy to leverage cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies to develop financial services, thereby simplifying banking procedures, enhancing transaction speed, and providing a smoother, more flexible 24/7 customer experience. Notably, this is the first service of its kind globally within the Islamic banking sector.
Regarding this unprecedented achievement, Anwar Badr Al-Ghaith, Deputy Chief Executive Officer for Digital Transformation and Operations at Burgan Bank, stated that “Bdr AI” allows customers to interact with the bank’s app using Arabic (in the Kuwaiti dialect) or English, through voice commands or written chat. This enables users to perform various banking operations and services easily, without the need to navigate through different menus within the app or manually fill in required banking data.
Al-Ghaith added, “Bdr AI relies on advanced technologies to accurately understand and analyze customer requests, enabling it to execute banking operations quickly and efficiently while maintaining the highest standards of quality, security, and ease of use.”
He further noted, “Bdr AI enhances access to banking services, saving time and effort, in line with customers’ expectations for innovative digital solutions that fit their fast-paced lifestyles.”
The bank continues to invest in modern technologies as a cornerstone for achieving digital transformation, consistently developing its electronic and digital platforms and launching innovative services that boost operational efficiency and improve the customer experience, while providing secure and reliable banking solutions.
These digital services underscore the bank’s dedication to leading the future of banking by harnessing the potential of artificial intelligence, thereby enhancing service efficiency, elevating customer satisfaction, and keeping pace with global developments in the financial sector.
Through this initiative, Burgan Bank continues to solidify its position as one of Kuwait’s leading banks in digital innovation, offering customers a smart banking experience that combines speed, convenience, and security, in line with its vision to empower customers to complete their transactions with ease and confidence via the bank’s app.
Burgan Bank is among the institutions that maintain its leadership by relying on and investing in interactive artificial intelligence. It is the first bank in the world to offer this unique feature, marking a milestone for the Kuwaiti banking sector in achieving international leadership in this field. This achievement represents a qualitative leap in the future of digital banking services.
It is worth noting that Burgan Bank has joined the Digital Cooperation Organization (DCO) as an observer, as one of Kuwait’s leading financial pillars, participating in shaping the future of the global digital economy. This strategic step crowns the bank’s ongoing efforts in digital transformation and reaffirms its pivotal role in promoting financial innovation and digital inclusion.
