Gulf International Bank (GIB) announced the inauguration of its new operations centre in Al Khobar, which was inaugurated by His Royal Highness Prince Saud bin Nayef Al Saud, Governor of Eastern Province. 

The opening ceremony was attended by His Excellency Rasheed Al Maraj, Governor of the Central Bank of Bahrain, His Excellency Dr. Ahmed bin Abdulkarim Alkholifey, Governor of the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency, other government officials and leaders from business and the financial services. 

The ​​33,316 square metre state-of-the-art building is spread over five ergonomically designed floors and supported by a smart technology environment. Currently, there are more than 500 people employed at the centre with provision for development and expansion.

In launching the centre, His Highness praised GIB’s modern technology, saying it lived up to the goals of the Kingdom's 2030 vision. He noted the importance of developing new offerings and using modern technology to improve services and hoped that the centre would achieve its ambitions and provide the best services to its customers.
