Working hours Al Ahli Bank of Kuwait (ABK)
Normal working hours, day by day
| Day | Head office and standard branches |
|---|---|
| Sunday | 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM |
| Monday | 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM |
| Tuesday | 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM |
| Wednesday | 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM |
| Thursday | 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM |

| Saturday | Closed at ordinary branches |
We could not read a current head office timetable on the bank’s pages. An older branch listing gave 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM for the head office and for ordinary branches, and these are the standard banking hours in Kuwait.
The same listing showed that some branches in malls and commercial centres keep split hours of about 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with no afternoon shift on Thursdays. Treat the table as a guide and check the bank’s branch locator for the branch you need.
Working hours in Ramadan
| Branch type | Ramadan hours |
|---|---|
| Head office and single-shift branches (residential and commercial areas) | Sunday to Thursday, 10:00 AM to 1:30 PM |
| Branches inside shopping malls (two shifts) | First shift 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM; second shift 8:00 PM to 12:00 midnight; Friday excluded |
| Airport branches | Around the clock, with the schedule set by each bank |
| Friday and Saturday | Closed at ordinary branches |
These Ramadan hours were announced for Ramadan 2026 by the Secretary-General of the Kuwait Banking Association, following a circular from the Central Bank of Kuwait. She said hours may vary slightly from one bank to another, depending on each bank’s arrangements, iftar and fasting times and mall opening hours. The timetable for the next Ramadan will be announced before the month begins, so check the bank’s website or social accounts, and treat these times as a guide until then.
Public holidays
Branches close on official public holidays, although ATMs, cash-deposit machines and digital banking stay available, and a few airport or mall branches may keep special hours. Announcements are normally made by the bank and the Kuwait Banking Association before each holiday, so check the bank’s website or social accounts before you go.

Branches and ATMs
Wikipedia describes 29 branches in Kuwait. The bank’s own website provides a branch and ATM finder, which is the reliable source for the current list.
An older listing named branches in Sharq, Mansouriya, Al Shaab, Salmiya, Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh, Al Ferdous, Saad Al-Abdullah and South Sabahiya, among others, but branches open, close and move, so do not rely on a list in a third-party page.

How to reach the head office by bus
The head office is on Ahmed Al-Jaber Street in Sharq. KuwaitBusRoute’s page for Kuwait Bus 12 (Sharq to Sulaibiya) lists Ahmed Al Jaber Street, Mubarak Al Kabeer Street and Shuhada Street among its stops.
The CityBus Kuwait City Express loop lists Souq Al Kabeer, Sharq Police Station, Al Amiri Hospital, the British Embassy and Hamra Tower, and you can browse all Sharq bus routes. Bus numbers, routes and stops change, and none of these pages names a stop at the bank’s door, so check the route page and the nearest stop before travelling. For fares and cards, see the Kuwait bus pass guide, and for every route see Kuwait bus routes and numbers. More local routes are listed on KuwaitBusRoute.
