As a bank dedicated to cultivating a financially astute generation, ahlibank hosted the \u201cLittle ahlibanker\u201d event on 18 August 2025 at its Head Office. The one-day initiative welcomed its employees\u2019 children to experience the world of banking first-hand, providing an engaging introduction to the financial sector while reaffirming the bank\u2019s commitment to employee engagement and family inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Commenting on the initiative, Jumana Al Hashmi, AGM \u2013 Head of Marketing and Corporate Communications at ahlibank, said, \u201cAs a people-centric institution, we believe our strength is defined not only by the services we provide to customers, but by the workplace culture we foster for our employees and their families. The \u2018Little ahlibanker\u2019 event exemplifies this commitment, offering an opportunity to connect the next generation with the principles of banking in a manner that is both engaging and meaningful, while instilling valuable lessons in responsibility, teamwork, and innovation. In doing so, we reaffirm the important role financial institutions play in advancing financial literacyand cultivating an environment where professional purpose and personal fulfilment are both championed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event brought together nearly 100 children, offering them a hands-on experience of stepping into the role of a banker for a day. Through guided tours across the bank\u2019s core operations, participants explored the different branch formats, including corporate, Islamic, and conventional, where they observed essential services such as account opening. They were also educated about alternative service points, including ATMs, MFKs, and POS stations, which demonstrated the extensive reach of the bank\u2019s retail network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, the children were introduced to ahliconnect and gained a behind-the-scenes look at its state-of-the-art data center, which forms the backbone of ahlibank\u2019s technology infrastructure. At the Innovation Lab, they experienced advanced solutions such as avatars and virtual reality, further broadening their perspective on the future of banking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guided by ahlibank employees, the young visitors engaged in interactive learning activities and workshops on banking and sustainable practices. This experiential approach not only gave the children practical exposure to how modern banking operates but also instilled valuable lessons in financial literacy and forward thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond the day\u2019s activities, the initiative underscored ahlibank\u2019s belief that the role of financial institutions extends well beyond transactions. It gave employees the chance to share their professional world with their children, strengthening pride, belonging, and family connection within the organization, while sparking curiosity and awareness among young minds. In doing so, the bank reinforced its commitment to a culture that values employees on both personal and professional levels, while cultivating financially informed citizens for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
