As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting the education sector and empowering youth to achieve their academic and professional aspirations, Gulf Bank announced its sponsorship of the sixth edition of the “Darasti” (My Studies) exhibition, held at the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Exhibition Area in Mishref from November 9 to 12. The event takes place under the patronage and presence of H.E. Minister of Education, Engineer Sayed Jalal Al-Tabatabai, and features participation from more than 100 local and international universities, along with training institutes and entities specializing in educational services.
Gulf Bank’s sponsorship of this event stems from its belief in the importance of investing in young people as the cornerstone of Kuwait’s future, and its dedication to providing platforms that help students explore educational opportunities and academic majors aligned with their aspirations and the evolving needs of the labor market.
Following the reception of H.E. the Minister at the Gulf Bank booth, Head of Marketing Najla Al-Eissa reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to supporting education and empowering youth, noting that enhancing financial literacy represents a strategic investment in the nation’s future youth and talents.
She clarified that the bank’s role extends beyond offering banking services alone; it also involves helping young people develop their financial skills and capabilities, enabling them to make informed decisions and achieve their educational and professional goals. She emphasized that linking education with practical financial knowledge contributes to strengthening financial independence among youth and prepares them to actively participate in supporting economic development in the State of Kuwait.
The Gulf Bank booth witnessed significant interest from young people and students, where the sales team showcased a diverse range of banking products and services designed specifically to meet their needs and requirements. These include the “red” youth account, which offers comprehensive banking benefits and services tailored to the aspirations of the new generation.
The bank team also introduced visitors to the “red plus” prepaid card, which provides young people with numerous benefits and exclusive offers at a wide range of stores, restaurants, and brands. Additionally, they highlighted the Gulf Points program, the most rewarding loyalty program in Kuwait, which gives customers greater opportunities to benefit from their daily purchases by converting them into valuable rewards with various redemption options.
Alongside promoting its services and products, Gulf Bank leveraged its participation in the exhibition to enhance financial awareness among students and youth, as part of its continuous support for the “Let’s Be Aware” campaign launched by the Central Bank of Kuwait and the Kuwait Banks Association. Bank representatives provided a set of tips and guidelines related to savings culture, financial planning, and the safe use of cards and digital banking services, contributing to instilling sound financial management concepts among younger generations.
Gulf Bank continues to solidify its position as a key partner for Kuwaiti youth through its sustained support for educational initiatives and youth events, as well as its strategic partnerships with various entities and institutions focused on developing and empowering youth capabilities. The bank also strives to provide training and employment opportunities that help refine the skills of national talents and prepare them for the future, alongside developing innovative products and services that meet their needs and align with their aspirations.
