Ithmaar Bank, a Bahrain-based Islamic retail bank, received the Best Bank Loyalty Programme Award from Mastercard.
The prestigious annual award was presented to Ithmaar Bank in recognition of its successful, customer-focused credit card rewards programme, Ithmaar Rewards.
“Ithmaar Bank is committed to becoming one of the region’s leading Islamic retail banks,” said Ithmaar Bank General Manager, Retail Banking Group, Mohammed Janahi. “We recognize that, to do so, we must put our customers at the heart of everything we do and continuously improve their banking experience by offering them best-in-class solutions,” he said.
“The Ithmaar Rewards programme is a great example of this very approach, and we are pleased to be the only Bank in the Kingdom of Bahrain to earn such prestigious recognition,” said Janahi. “The Award celebrates the fact that Ithmaar Rewards has achieved the highest in points accumulation and points redemption by its credit cardholders. This demonstrates the popularity of the Bank’s loyalty progamme among our customers, and reconfirms that our continuous efforts to meet and exceed their expectations are paying off,” he said.
“A close, long-term strategic partner, Ithmaar Bank has always added tremendous value to the work we do in Bahrain. We’re delighted to award them for the Best Bank Loyalty Program in the Kingdom,” said J.K.
