FAQs :
How is the interest calculated?
Interest is calculated monthly and credited to your account twice a year on the 31st of May and the 30th of November. The minimum balance to be eligible for interest is KD 500 (interest is calculated based on the minimum balance in the account during the month).

Can I open this account in other currencies?
No, this account is available in KD only.

What happens if I stop using my account?
If there is no activity on the account for 1 year, the account will go into a dormant status. If there is no activity on the account for 5 years or more, the account will go to unclaimed status.

A KD 2 monthly fee will be charged to dormant and unclaimed accounts. You may visit any branch and reactivate your dormant and unclaimed account – a fee of KD 5 will be charged for all reactivations.

What is required to get a checkbook?
You need approval from your branch manager.

Can my checks be of any size or are there guidelines around standard check sizes?
As per the Central Bank of Kuwait’s instructions to all local banks, only checks meeting the standard size requirements will be accepted for processing. Checks should either be 20.3 cm x 7.6 cm or 22.8 cm x 8.9 cm.
