KFH Organizes Awareness Workshop on Financial Fraud
In line with its continued support for the banking awareness campaign, Diraya, Kuwait Finance House (KFH) organized a specialized workshop to enhance employee awareness of financial fraud and its risks, as well as methods for identifying and countering fraudulent attempts. The workshop, "What a Fraudster Thinks", reflects KFH's commitment that employees are the banking sector's first line of defence. It emphasizes the necessity of continuously strengthening their readiness and awareness against the rapidly evolving fraud landscape. The workshop was delivered by KFH Executive Manager Fraud Risk, Ahmed Abdulwahab Al-Zamami. It provided a comprehensive overview of the latest internal and external fraud schemes targeting both institutions and individuals, with particular emphasis on cyber fraud and phishing attacks. Participants were introduced to common fraudulent practices, such as fake links, deceptive calls, and institutional impersonation. To maximize customer security, the workshop outlined practical ways to detect and respond to suspicious activity. It also examined the psychological manipulation tactics fraudsters use to deceive victims and access confidential information. Al-Zamami said that the aim of the initiative was to deepen employees' understanding of the motives and methods behind financial crimes through real-life examples and case studies. He stressed the importance of safeguarding data privacy and avoiding any engagement with suspicious communications or unofficial requests. He further emphasized never sharing passwords, OTPs, or PINs, urging vigilance against fraudulent messages impersonating official entities to solicit suspicious link clicks or OTPs. This warning applies to all KFH customers and the public. He noted that ignoring unsolicited messages from unknown sources remains the primary defence against fraud, protecting both funds and personal data. Al-Zamami also warned against emerging scams that leverage artificial intelligence to replicate the voices of real individuals. Fraudsters then contact the victim's acquaintances by phone or through social media, creating a sense of urgency to persuade them to transfer money, thereby adding a layer of legitimacy to the scam. As part of its CSR program, KFH continues educating employees and the public on evolving fraud threats, hence reinforcing the Bank’s leadership in promoting financial awareness in the community.

Al-Hasawy: Q1 Real Estate Transactions Reflect Investor Confidence
Kuwait Finance House (KFH) Executive Manager of Real Estate Valuation, Eng. Hamad Al-Hasawy, said that the real estate sector demonstrated resilience during the first quarter of 2026 and reinforced investor confidence, despite geopolitical developments, in addition to reduced trading days and hours due to public holidays and the month of Ramadan. He noted that the real estate market recorded high transaction levels exceeding KD 1 billion during Q1 2026, marking a 15.7% year-on-year increase. This growth was driven by notable activity in commercial real estate and private residential properties. He further pointed out that a new and significant activity emerged in the plant nurseries segment, which recorded 21 transactions valued at KD 79.3 million during the quarter. Al-Hasawy emphasized that this diversity across real estate segments reflects the underlying strength of the market and its multiple interlinked drivers, which enhance its resilience and ability to withstand and manage risks. He stated in a press release: “A modest increase in demand for various real estate segments was observed, reflected in 1,324 transactions recorded during the first quarter, representing a 1.7% year-on-year increase. This was driven by a slight rise in transactions within the private residential segment, while trading activity declined across other real estate categories over the same period, except for the coastal strip. However, overall transactions decreased by 24% on a quarter-on-quarter basis." Al-Hasawy noted that real estate market performance during the first quarter of this year reinforces to investors the importance of avoiding concentration in a single real estate sector and the need for diversification to reduce risks and maximize benefits from market developments. He also emphasized the importance of studying opportunities related to growing demand and trading activity across different real estate segments. Furthermore, Al-Hasawy emphasized that real estate valuation is a cornerstone of the industry, operating at multiple levels. It facilitates seamless financing and organizes market transactions through transparency, professional standards, and fair appraisals that reflect current market realities. He highlighted the exceptional caliber and professionalism of KFH’s valuation team, which continues to bolster the deep trust placed in them by a diverse customer base. Moreover, KFH’s robust organizational structure ensures market-leading performance. Combined with decades of experience, impartiality, and a reputation for reliability, KFH has become the preferred choice for valuation services across all sectors. As an accredited entity, KFH leverages an extensive database and a specialized technical team (comprising engineering, legal, and accounting experts) to deliver valuations rooted in rigorous market studies and real-time monitoring.
