About ‘meem م’
‘Meem by GIB’ (‘meem م’) is the retail banking arm of Gulf International Bank B.S.C. (GIB), it offers retail banking services to Saudi customers and targets the technophile customer base by offering a suite of innovative Sharia’a-compliant, non-traditional banking services that are licensed by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency (SAMA).

‘Meem by GIB’ is a registered trademark and independent brand using online and mobile banking as the primary platforms of banking. Upon opening an account, all services can be carried out electronically. ‘meem م’ has stores in Riyadh, Jeddah and Al Dhahran and provides services such as completing the account opening process, cash withdrawals, deposits and transfers, and account maintenance.

‘meem م’ was uniquely conceptualised and created by employing the concept of co-creation which involved engaging with a large target customer base using various social media channels over the last three years, to gain valuable insight into their needs and preferences. This co-creation experience is considered to be the first-of-its-kind in the banking sector globally that not only helped shape the business model of ‘meem م’ but also the services and products on offer, brand identity and values.

GIB is owned by the six GCC governments, with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia holding a majority stake (97.2 per cent). The Bank is chaired by H.E. Jammaz bin Abdullah Al-Suhaim.
