According to Al-Sinari, the business culture is one of the main pillars that have contributed to the success of the bank and the development of its business since its inception. Through this culture, the bank encourages entrepreneurship and innovative work while adhering to the best international practices with regard to corporate governance and risk management, which represents the most important competitive advantages of the CIB.
