About BNP Paribas Kuwait
BNP Paribas says it was licensed by the Central Bank of Kuwait in 2004 and became a fully operational branch in 2005. According to the group’s Middle East and Africa website, BNP Paribas Kuwait offers corporate and institutional banking and investment solutions.
The Central Bank of Kuwait supervises the Kuwait operations of foreign banks and lists BNP Paribas among eleven foreign-bank branches.

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.
This listing is for a foreign bank’s branch in Kuwait. Several of these branches serve corporate and institutional clients, often by appointment, and may not keep a retail counter, so ask the branch whether the Kuwait Banking Association’s Ramadan timetable applies to the service you need.
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.
Banking services
BNP Paribas Kuwait provides corporate and institutional banking and investment solutions. It is not a retail bank, so individuals who want an everyday account should use a Kuwaiti retail bank.
The bank offers a Customer Service Desk for existing clients and a dedicated complaints email address on its contact page.
Branches and ATMs
BNP Paribas operates a single branch in Kuwait, in the Dar Al-Awadi Complex in Sharq, and has no retail branch or ATM network.
The group’s regional headquarters is in Bahrain.
How to reach the head office by bus
The branch 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, and Kuwait Bus 15 (Maliya to Salmiya) lists Sharq, Darwazah and Al Shuhada St.
The CityBus Kuwait City Express loop lists Souq Al Kabeer, Sharq Police Station, the British Embassy, Hamra Tower and Al Soor 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.
