The Game-Changing Partnership That's Boosting Yemen's Banks
The Institute for Financial Integrity (IFI) today announced that Al-Kuraimi Islamic Bank (KIB) and Al-Kuraimi Islamic Microfinance Bank (KIMB), two of Yemen's prominent financial institutions, have selected IFI to strengthen compliance training for staff. Both banks will roll out IFI's Financial Integrity and Cross-Border Payments Training Program – developed in collaboration with K2 Integrity – to strengthen financial crime risk management and compliance capabilities across their institutions.
Moreover, leaders actively cheer the move. "Investing in compliance education is investing in the trust our clients place in us," said Yousef Al-Kuraimi, CEO at KIMB. "This training program gives our teams the skills and frameworks to uphold that trust every day."
Why This Deal Rocks the Financial World and Beyond
"Sound compliance starts with well-trained people," said Abdulrahman Al-Aswani, GM at KIB. "IFI's program offers the depth and practical knowledge our organization needs."
Furthermore, the enterprise-level program delivers a multi-year curriculum combining a self-paced, Arabic eLearning and video library, live training sessions led by experts, and access to IFI's DOLFIN platform for ongoing compliance education. "We are pleased to work with KIMB and KIB as they continue to enhance employee education," said Natalie Pulsifer, Senior Director at IFI. "Both institutions are making a meaningful investment in their people and in the broader integrity of Yemen's financial system."
The Institute for Financial Integrity is dedicated to empowering today's institutions to protect the global financial system from illicit use. It provides both in-person training and online education and certifications through DOLFIN®—the Dedicated Online Financial Integrity Network—its proprietary learning platform.
