Samba Financial Group celebrated the Inauguration of Samba UK's Renovated Premises on Friday, April 18, 2008. Mr. Eisa Al Eisa, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Samba Financial Group said that the major renovations of the Branch aims at keeping with the pledge to deliver best-in-class value propositions to our customers and to provide a state-of-the-art customer experience and a positive working environment.

Mr. Al Eisa commented on the event "UK Branch is one of longest established Middle Eastern banks in the United Kingdom (UK). It has been present in London for more than twenty years, starting as a representative office in 1984, only 4 years after establishing Samba, and upgrading to a fully licensed bank in 1987. Samba UK was the First Middle East's Bank in Europe. Samba UK's mission is to add value and an international perspective to clients from the Middle East, primarily Saudi Arabia and GCC states and Pakistan, supporting their business interests as one of their overseas banks of choice". Al Eisa commends the excellent location of the branch in the City of London, a world venue of banking activities. Samba UK's office is in Mayfair, an exclusive district of Central London, and is close to the Saudi Arabian and various Middle Eastern embassies and other landmark locations of London.
