MANAMA: BBK is offering loans to businesses and home owners for purchase of solar panels from accredited Bahraini suppliers.

The bank announced yesterday that the initiative is in line with a social responsibility focus on the environment and its commitment to support the UN sustainable development goals.

The solar panel loan comes with special benefits including fast approvals, waived bank fees, competitive interest rates, flexible repayment terms and a repayment period of up to seven years.
