The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) has signed an agreement with the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland – Medical University of Bahrain (RCSI Bahrain) to extend its education financing solutions to the existing and prospective students.

The signing ceremony was held on the 12th October 2022 at NBB’s headquarters in the presence of Subah Abdulatif Al Zayani, Chief Executive – Retail Banking at NBB and Stephen Harrison-Mirfield, Managing Director at RCSI Bahrain as well as representatives from both institutions.

The financing solution offers a tenure of up to seven years with a quick and seamless approval process.

Customers will also benefit from zero processing and zero insurance fees alongside competitive interest rates.

Moreover, applicants who apply before 31st December 2022 could be one of the two lucky winners to win back one year of the Education Finance instalments.

Subah Abdulatif Al Zayani, Chief Executive – Retail Banking at NBB, said: “We aim to contribute continuously to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 and lead Bahraini students towards a prosperous future.”

Stephen Harrison-Mirfield, Managing Director at RCSI Bahrain, commented: “Our collaboration with NBB provides an opportunity for greater participation in medical and health sciences higher education and consequently contributes to supporting the health sector of Bahrain.

As part of our social responsibility, we want to remind students and their families that the Education Financing solutions come with a liability, which needs to be evaluated as a short-term and long-term outlook.

We look forward to developing our ongoing collaboration with NBB as we nurture the next generation of healthcare practitioners in Bahrain.”
