Protection of Banks’ Consumers


Within the efforts aimed at strengthening the protection of banking sector clients by establishing a balanced relationship between banks and their customers, and guided by the relevant best international practices, and the principles of financial consumer protection approved by the finance ministers and central bank governors of the G20 countries in October 2011, the Central Bank of Kuwait issued a guide to protect banks’ clients in various sectors. This guide includes a set of principles that are considered complementary to, not alternative of, the various instructions previously issued by the Central Bank of Kuwait for protecting customers in their dealings with the banks.
