About Ebdaa Bahrain:
Established on February 11, 2009, Ebdaa Bahrain for Microfinance holds the distinction of being the first bank dedicated to microfinance in the Kingdom of Bahrain. This milestone was achieved under the auspices and benevolent support of Her Royal Highness Princess Sabeeka bint Ibrahim Al Khalifa, the wife of the King of Bahrain and President of the Supreme Council for Women (may God protect her), and the late Prince Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, President of the Arab Gulf Program for Development “AGFUND.” The institution was founded with a shared belief in the pivotal role of such banks in supporting income, fostering creativity, and realizing ambitions by providing small loans on accessible and favorable terms. Notably, in mid-2021, the legal status of Ebdaa Bahrain transitioned from a bank to a company.
