(MENAFN- Crypto Breaking) 5 November 2025 – BBK, a leader in retail and corporate banking in the Kingdom of Bahrain, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Binance, the world's largest blockchain ecosystem and crypto-asset exchange, to become the first bank and entity in the GCC to join the Binance Link Program. The partnership is pending final regulatory approval from the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB).

The announcement was made at the Gateway Gulf Investment Forum Bahrain 2025, marking a significant milestone for the region's digital finance landscape.

Through this partnership, BBK will integrate Binance's white label Crypto-as-a-Service solution directly into its Mobile Banking App. Using Plug & Play APIs, this integration will allow BBK customers to seamlessly trade and manage crypto assets without needing separate Binance accounts. A dedicated dashboard within the BBK Mobile App will provide a one-stop-shop for viewing holdings and executing transactions, combining traditional and digital investments in a single platform.

The collaboration supports Bahrain's national vision to become a leading crypto-asset trading hub in the region. It also supports BBK's embedded banking strategy, which aims to deliver a comprehensive suite of financial solutions-ranging from deposits and traditional investments to digital assets-all within a single, user-friendly platform.

Once regulatory approvals are finalized, BBK customers will enjoy instant access to Binance's offerings alongside BBK's own financial products, all through the BBK Mobile App.
