About BFC

Bahrain Financing Company (BFC) is the leading Money Transfer and Currency Exchange company in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Whether you’re sending money home to your loved ones or going on holiday and need foreign currency, we have all your needs covered.

Our Group History

We started in the Kingdom of Bahrain in 1917, trading in gold bullion and continually growing our services when in the 1970’s we entered the remittance market, giving the fast growing expat community the opportunity to send their hard earned money home. We are licensed by the Central Bank of Bahrain and now specialise in global money transfers, foreign exchange and wholesale currency services.

In 2008, we became part of BFC Group Holdings W.L.L, after Bank Alkhair, the Islamic Financial Services Group, bought a controlling stake in BFC in Bahrain, Bahrain Exchange Company (BEC) in Kuwait and BFC Exchange Limited (formerly known as EzRemit Limited) in the United Kingdom.

Since then, due to great success, BFC Group has grown its retail operations even further, opening up BFC Forex & Financial Services PVT Ltd (BFC Forex) in India.

Bahrain Financing Company is a Shariah-compliant company.

In 2018, BFC Group launched BFC Payments, licensed by the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) as an Ancillary Service Provider with permitted activities of Card Processing and Payment Service Provider.

In 2022, BFC Group successfully completed the sale of its UK Subsidiary, BFC Bank.
