# 40 leading financial services firms in Bahrain
Tamtam tracks 40 financial services firms headquartered in Bahrain. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Bank ABC, Al Baraka Group (ABG) and Kuwait Finance House B.S.C. (c). Their median headcount is 173. Half of them were founded in 2000 or later.
The financial services sector in Bahrain, as represented by these companies, is largely composed of established banking institutions, many of which specialize in Shari'a-compliant offerings. Companies such as Bank ABC, Al Baraka Group, and National Bank of Bahrain are prominent, offering a range of wholesale, retail, and investment banking services. Al Salam Bank and Bahrain Islamic Bank - BisB also focus on Islamic banking products.
A notable characteristic among these financial firms is the strong presence of companies founded in the latter half of the 20th century, with many established between the 1970s and early 2000s. Several companies, including Bahrain Financing Company (founded 1917) and National Bank of Bahrain (founded 1957), have a long operational history in the region. Almost all of these companies are headquartered in Manama, indicating a geographical concentration within the capital.

## How this list is built
Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
