KFH

KFH is most commonly an acronym for Kuwait Finance House, a Kuwait-based Islamic financial services group. The institution was founded in 1977 as Kuwait’s first Islamic bank and has since grown into a diversified financial services company offering Sharia-compliant products and services.

The group provides retail and corporate banking, investment services, asset management, and real estate financing, with operations conducted in a holding-company structure that includes various subsidiaries and affiliates. It emphasizes compliance with Islamic law in product design, risk management, and governance. Kuwait Finance House operates primarily in Kuwait but maintains international links through its subsidiary and affiliate networks.

As a publicly traded entity in Kuwait, KFH has expanded its footprint beyond the domestic market through international subsidiaries such as Kuwait Finance House Malaysia, among other regional and international partnerships. The organization participates in the broader Islamic finance sector by adhering to regulatory frameworks governing Sharia-compliant banking and financial activities and by engaging with industry bodies to promote standardization and transparency in Islamic finance.
