Ebdaa Microfinance Bank Bahrain is one of the Banks for the Poor created by the Arab Gulf Program for Development (AGFUND) based on the vision of HRH Prince Talal Bin Abdelaziz of Saudi Arabia with the aim of helping Poor and Limited Income people to become part of the economic cycle. The bank was established on February 11, 2009, but its legal status changed from a bank to a company in mid-2021 in implementation of the new regulatory instructions of the Central Bank of Bahrain.
Ebdaa Bahrain focuses on providing credit opportunities, insurance services, and capacity building services to the poor and limited income Bahrainis to help them improve their living standards and increase their overall families' income. The company received the "Best Women Empowerment in the GCC" award from the Government of Dubai in May 2017 in recognition of its role in supporting and economically empowering Bahraini women, and was also honored as the Best Microfinance Bank by the Union of Arab Banks in 2023.
The company is based in Manama, Bahrain with $9.5 million in revenue and approximately 43-52 employees.
