BBK, a leader in retail and corporate banking in the Kingdom of Bahrain, has announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ATME, a digital assets exchange licensed by the Central Bank of Bahrain, during the third edition of FinTech Forward 2025 (FF25), which took place from 8 to 9 October 2025 at the Exhibition World Bahrain.

The MoU between BBK and ATME will jointly explore and evaluate potential opportunities for the tokenization of investments and financing structures for clients. The objective is to utilize Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and Tokenization to enhance efficiency and liquidity in the management and exchange of these assets through secure and regulatory compliant digital solutions.

Tokenized offerings provide clients with greater accessibility to a wide range of financial products (including bonds, loans, real estate and other financial assets). Mr. Mohamed Al Rayes, General Manager of Treasury and Investment at BBK, commented: “BBK, being a pioneering wealth management and investment solutions provider for clients, is delighted to announce this partnership with ATME to digitize BBK’s investment offerings to clients and use tokenization as a tool to create smooth trading experience and increased liquidity for the benefit of our clients”.
