National Bank of Kuwait is committed to supporting the youth of Kuwait in a belief of the role they will have in building a better future. The bank continues to support initiatives that target their growth and development such as the Annual orientation event held for students who were accepted in scholarships to study in the United States and which is organized by the National Union of Kuwait Students (NUKS) - United States Chapter and held under the patronage of His Excellency the Minister of Education and Higher Education, Dr. Hamed Al-Aazmi.
The meeting was attended by a large number of students who were given an overview on NBK’s banking services which will benefit them during their studies, as well as the latest transfer alternatives and payment systems that were designed to fit their lifestyle. Students positively engaged in the discussions that responded to their queries about various requirements such as accommodation, living conditions, laws and regulations they need to be aware about, as well as the teaching systems and skills they are expected to acquire.
Commenting on the bank’s ongoing support of NUKS, General Manager of Consumer Banking Group, National Bank of Kuwait, Mr. Mohammad Al Othman, said, “NBK continues to lead in providing the necessary support to Kuwaiti students abroad and the youth segment in general. This comes as part of our ongoing investment in serving every segment of the society and providing them with services and products that cater to their lifestyles and evolving needs.”

We assure them that we at NBK always place their wellbeing and banking aspirations ahead of our priorities.”
