BBK, Bahrain’s pioneer in retail and commercial banking, is proud to announce the launch of its latest channel for Card Issuance at its Branches.  These new machines will provide retail customers the liberty to instantly generate and collect their personalized, fully functioning EMV chip and contactless enabled Debit Cards at their own convenience. Now, BBK customers can walk out of the branch with their newly activated debit card in hand immediately after they open an account or upon their request.  
Dr. Abdulrahman Ali Saif, BBK’s Group Chief Executive commented: “In our continuous efforts to provide our customers with a convenient and enhanced banking experience, I am pleased to announce the launch of a new self-service channel that combines ease of use, reliability and high level of security. The new Card Issuance Machines, which are now available and easily accessible at a number of BBK Branches and Financial Malls to our retail customers, will offer our customers on-the-spot card issuance with minimal waiting times”.
