About

Ahli United Bank is the largest bank in Bahrain by total assets, being founded in the year 2000 on the back of a merger between The United Bank of Kuwait and Al-Ahli Commercial Bank. Andre Roos, group head for legal and corporate affairs, has immense experience of the institution. He originally joined the bank in August 2001, and has been there ever since for a total of over 16 years of service. This offers him unparalleled insight into the bank’s operations and, by extension, the financial market in Bahrain as a whole. Alongside his legal responsibilities, Roos contributes to the strategic direction of the bank by providing input to the executive management of the institution. Effective in-house legal support is just one reason why the company is in a particularly successful period at present; in July 2017 Ahli United Bank announced a record net profit of $311m.
