Banking Jobs in the Middle East

The GCC has long been a center of banking in the Middle East, and its continued growth means it will continue to fulfill this vital role for many years to come. Ongoing growth and development of the banking sector is driven by a number of factors, including oil and natural gas wealth, increases in business activity, and explosive growth in construction and development of infrastructure, commercial, and residential projects. Let’s take a look at the general definition most commonly used to describe the banking sector.

Defining the banking sector

The banking sector of the GCC includes all aspects of the overall banking system. From commercial banks to specialty banks to savings banks to governmental banks and the like, the sector as a whole is devoted to core financial services. The most often noted core services include accepting deposits, extending credit and loans, transmitting money from bank to bank (internally and/or internationally) and basic investment products. Although there are some commonalities between the banking sector and the finance sector, there are enough differences to warrant treating them separately while still acknowledging the areas of overlap.

Banking professionals work across all types and sizes of banks serving a comprehensive array of customers and clients. All businesses, large and small, require some level of banking service, as do governments and other public entities. This is why you will find a mix of banks in the overall banking sector; some are set up to serve a wide range of clients while others are set up to serve more narrow and specialized clients. For instance, some banks specialize in the oil and natural gas industry or in the hospitality and tourism industry; as part of their specialization they offer products and services customized to meet the unique needs of these industries.

The functional areas for banking professionals include, but are not limited to, the following:

Bank managers
Bank directors
Human resources
Client services
Compliance managers
Tellers, agents, and customer service specialists
Banking analysts
Wealth management for clients
Capitalization and wealth management for individual banks

Lending officers
