KUWAIT CITY, Apr 8: Under the patronage and presence of the Minister of Education, Sayyid Jalal Al-Tabtabei, and ‎with the attendance of Mohammed Al-Othman, Chief Executive Officer of Personal and Digital ‎Banking at National Bank of Kuwait, and Head of Weyay Bank, Amal Al-Duwaisan, Weyay ‎Bank, Kuwait's leading digital bank, announces its active and distinguished participation in the ‎fourth edition of the "Derasti" Exhibition. The event, which commenced on Monday and ‎continues until April 10th, is taking place at the Mishref International Fairground, Hall 8, with ‎the participation of over 120 local and international universities, as well as various entities from ‎the public and private sectors.‎

The exhibition is considered the most prominent educational event in Kuwait, with its activities ‎holding paramount importance for high school students. It serves as a central meeting point that ‎allows them to explore a wide range of educational opportunities available after completing their ‎secondary education. During his opening address, the Minister Sayyid Jalal Al-Tabtabai ‎emphasized the significance of community partnership and continuous collaboration between the ‎public and private sectors through this exhibition, which contributes to enhancing students' ‎awareness and assisting them in choosing specializations that align with their future aspirations, ‎in line with the "New Kuwait 2035" vision.‎

The exhibition provides students with a unique platform for direct interaction with ‎representatives from local and international higher education institutions. This allows them to ‎learn about diverse academic programs, admission requirements, available scholarships, and all ‎matters related to their academic and professional future. Weyay Bank's participation in this ‎important event stems from its firm belief in the vital role it plays in supporting and empowering ‎Kuwaiti youth in their educational journey towards building a bright future.‎

Weyay Bank's active participation in the "Derasti" Exhibition underscores its deep commitment ‎to supporting the education sector and empowering students in the State of Kuwait. Weyay ‎Bank believes that investing in the education of youth is an investment in the nation's future. It ‎strives to be an active partner in providing them with the necessary tools, knowledge, and ‎opportunities to realize their full potential and contribute effectively to building a more ‎prosperous and advanced future for Kuwaiti society. The bank views young people as the leaders ‎of tomorrow and agents of change, and it takes pride in its role in supporting their educational ‎journey and enabling them to achieve their dreams and aspirations.‎

Regarding banking products and services, Weyay Bank is highlighting the digital banking ‎experience it offers, which helps students seamlessly open their bank accounts within minutes ‎without the need to visit a bank branch. In addition to the ease of account opening, Weyay Bank ‎places great importance on simplifying the money transfer process, as the application allows ‎students to make instant and secure financial transfers to any other account inside or outside ‎Kuwait in just a few steps. Most importantly, student allowances can be transferred digitally to ‎their Weyay accounts, and they can obtain the digital prepaid SELECT card, which specifically ‎targets allowance customers and features a range of exclusive benefits tailored to the lifestyle ‎and daily needs of university students. These benefits include cashback offers on their purchases ‎and special discounts at a wide network of stores, restaurants, cafes, and services favored by ‎young people.‎

Through its interactive booth at the exhibition, Weyay Bank is keen to provide a rich and ‎beneficial experience for visiting students. The booth features a number of activities that cater to ‎their passion for their fields of study and encourage them to keep pace with digital ‎transformation and pursue specializations that are currently in demand in the market. Weyay ‎Bank aims through these activities to create an interactive environment that combines benefit and ‎entertainment, transforming the process of exploring the future of education into an enjoyable ‎and unforgettable experience.‎
