Khaleeji Bank, one of the leading Islamic Banks in the Kingdom of Bahrain, has announced the launch of its updated open banking services, which offer clients unprecedented flexibility and a comprehensive view of their accounts, cards, and financial resources. The new banking services bolster the bank’s leadership in the field of Digital Innovation.
The new open banking services grant several advantages to users of the Khaleeji App, most notably unified account management by linking accounts from other banks in the Kingdom of Bahrain through a single, easy-to-use platform.
The Khaleeji App also allows the transfer of funds between linked accounts, besides controlling expenses by tracking and monitoring spending across all linked accounts to obtain a clear understanding of financial expenses. Users can also manage their budgets by creating dedicated budgeting categories and allocating funds, allowing them to control and manage their expenses.
Furthermore, the new updates allow users to effectively track cash flows, get an overview of financial affairs, and plan a comprehensive financial vision through a 360-degree view of all linked bank accounts, facilitating an integrated financial plan.
