Bahrain Profile | BFC Group Holdings
An experienced in-house counsel in the banking sector, Zabar explains how a desire to be at the forefront of innovation has led to Bahrain becoming a leader in the region for introducing forward-thinking legislation and regulation.
I underwent my higher education in London, before I moved into private practice briefly, then onto an in-house role in commercial banking. I acted as in-house legal counsel at one of the biggest banks in the region (Ahli United Bank). I was also the legal counsel for one of the largest Islamic investment banks in the region (GFH Financial Group formerly known as Gulf Finance House). I have over 10 years’ experience in banking overall. That is when I moved to BFC Group Holdings as group general counsel and board secretary.
At BFC Group Holdings, we are the holding company for (among others) Bahrain Financing Company (BFC) which is the largest exchange, global remittance and wholesale banknote trading company in Bahrain.
