AUB Headquarters

A foundation for the future

Our headquarter building in Al-Seef district of Bahrain is a symbol of our commitment to banking in Bahrain and the Gulf region. Construction of the new headquarters building commenced in August 2002 and offices were occupied in early 2004.

In addition to Board of Directors and senior management facilities, the Headquarters building includes a full service branch facility and the Group support functions of Audit, Compliance, IT & Operations, Finance and Human Resources. It also hosts the central platform for managing the Private Banking and Wealth Management business across the Gulf, as well as the treasury, commercial banking and retail banking departments.

Ahli United Bank continues to maintain a full service branch presence in Government Avenue to cater to its clients' needs.

The building includes a total of 10,000 sq. m. of work space in two wings, known as the Sweet Water and Salt Water wings – derived from the unique sources of water in the seas around Bahrain. It incorporates a 300 sq. m. banking hall and safety deposit facility. The atrium extends the full four storeys of the building and features two panoramic lifts and a staircase linking to office floors above.

The building is not only architecturally dramatic but is designed in such a way that it creates a pleasant, healthy and functional work environment.

In anticipation of traffic congestion problems, the new headquarters provides ample parking facilities for both staff and visiting customers. A total in excess of 250 spaces is available in both surface and multi-storey parking. A portion of these spaces has been allocated to customers enabling fast and convenient access to the banking hall.

The building also has a new IT center including state-of-the art IT, telecommunication and multimedia facilities. A large, well equipped training and conference suite is on the top floor. The design also incorporates modern security features to ensure the protection and safety of all occupants and visitors.
