Gulf International Bank
Gulf International Bank facilities in Saudi Arabia, where AZEIDK supplied, installed, tested and commissioned fire protection, alarm and security systems.
About the project
Gulf International Bank set up its Saudi bank in April 2019 by converting its existing branches in the Kingdom into a locally incorporated bank, the first foreign-domiciled bank to establish a local commercial bank in Saudi Arabia. Owned equally by the Public Investment Fund and Gulf International Bank B.S.C., the Saudi bank is headquartered in Al Khobar with branches in Riyadh and Jeddah, and offers wholesale, investment and retail banking, asset management, and meem, a fully digital Shariah-compliant retail bank.
Why fire and life safety matter in banking facilities
A bank facility typically combines customer halls, staff offices and rooms with IT equipment and hard-to-replace records, along with areas for cash and valuables. Many of these spaces are empty outside working hours, so automatic detection and monitored alarms are the first line of defence. For a bank, a fire’s impact goes beyond physical damage to interrupted service and systems, which is why fire protection and security systems work together here to protect people, assets and data.
AZEIDK’s role
At the bank facilities it worked on in the Kingdom, AZEIDK supplied, installed, tested and commissioned fire protection, alarm and security systems according to the project requirements.
