The agreement was unveiled during a press conference held at the school, attended by KIB’s General Manager of Retail Banking Othman Tawfeqe, and BSK's Founder and Director – Madam Vera Al-Mutawa MBE, along with several representatives from both sides.
Commenting on the new partnership, Othman Tawfeqe, General Manager of the Retail Banking Department at KIB, stated: “We are proud to partner with The British School of Kuwait, one of the oldest and most prestigious educational institutions in the country, renowned for its long-standing commitment to delivering high-quality education in line with the highest international standards. In recognition of BSK’s vital role in Kuwait’s educational landscape, we are pleased to offer a zero-profit tuition installment plan, designed to facilitate access to quality education and support families in managing their educational expenses with greater ease and flexibility.”
He added: “KIB consistently strives to offer innovative financial solutions that cater to the needs of our customers and the community at large, and this agreement is a clear reflection of that commitment. We understand that education costs can pose a challenge for many families, which is why we were keen to introduce a flexible, zero-profit payment system that offers parents peace of mind and supports better financial planning. This new partnership between KIB and BSK stands as a model of effective collaboration between the financial and education sectors, opening new opportunities for students in Kuwait to access high-quality education.”
