AlRayan Bank has unveiled its latest innovation, AlRayan Go, a mobile banking application designed to enhance the customer experience while maintaining its steadfast adherence to Shari’a-compliant principles. This launch aligns with the bank’s strategic vision of delivering a seamless, fast, and secure banking experience for its customers.

The first iteration of AlRayan Go offers a suite of user-friendly features, including effortless account management, faster money transfers, and streamlined card lifecycle management. To ensure robust digital security, the app incorporates biometric authentication and individualized passcodes, providing customers with peace of mind while managing their finances.

Fahad Bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, Group CEO of AlRayan Bank, highlighted the app's significance: "AlRayan Go reflects our dedication to redefining Islamic banking for the modern era. This milestone is a testament to our vision of building a customer-centric, future-ready bank, leveraging cutting-edge technology to offer a faster, safer, and more intuitive banking experience."

Houssam Itani, Group Chief Transformation Officer, echoed this sentiment, stating: "The launch of AlRayan Go is a pivotal moment in our transformation journey. This first iteration is only the beginning as we aim to continuously enhance the app and set new standards in customer experience."

During the phased rollout of AlRayan Go, the current mobile banking app will remain operational, allowing the bank to refine the new platform based on user feedback. Customers can share their insights via the app’s unique messaging feature.

Notably, the launch follows the rebranding of Masraf Al Rayan to AlRayan Bank, signaling a new chapter in its journey without deviating from its Shari’a-compliant roots. With AlRayan Go, the bank bridges tradition and innovation, delivering next-generation banking grounded in the principles of Islamic finance.
