The new service is expected to provide National Bank of Kuwait (NBK) clients and particularly private banking and affluent Thahabi clients with a convenient platform for a full-fledged and real-time trading of listed shares at Kuwait Stock Exchange, in addition to placing orders via brokers available at the branch.

NBK clients can also watch live quotes, open trading accounts via Kuwait Financial Brokerage Company, obtain statements of their trading accounts as well as take receipt of cheques related to their trades.

Aly Shalaby, general manager for consumer banking said that the initiation of this highly convenient service aims at offering their clients a difference that could only come from NBK, whereby through NBK’s cooperation with Kuwait Financial Brokerage Company, clients are capable of fast and convenient stock trading, without the hassle of having to travel to the stock exchange headquarters in Kuwait City.
