Bahrain Islamic Bank (BisB), the leading provider of innovative Islamic financial solutions for simplifying money matters in the Kingdom of Bahrain, has announced the expansion of its Tejoori Premium investment product with the addition of two new segments: 'Tejoori Saver' and 'Tejoori Saver Lite'. The move aims to make the benefits of the Tejoori programme more accessible to a wider customer base, in line with the Bank's objective to promote long-term financial wellbeing. The newly introduced accounts operate under the same principles as Tejoori Premium, offering Sharia'a compliant returns, medical insurance, and eligibility for the Bank's popular Tejoori Al Islami and Tejoori Premium raffles. However, the 'Saver' and 'Saver Lite' accounts cater to customers with lower minimum deposit requirements, making them ideal for individual savers, SME owners and entrepreneurs seeking stable returns and added benefits. 'Tejoori Saver Lite' is available for deposits ranging from BHD 10,000 to BHD 24,999. 'As for Tejoori Saver', it is designated for deposits ranging between BHD 25,000 and BHD 49,999. Both accounts include upfront profit payment, silver medical insurance coverage (for Tejoori Saver only), and access to a Signature Credit Card with pledged deposit collateral. Mr. Faisal Al Abdulla, Chief Retail Banking Officer at BisB, stated: 'The expansion of our Tejoori Premium products suite reflects our commitment to democratising access to smart, Sharia'a compliant investment solutions. With 'Tejoori Saver' and 'Saver Lite', we are extending the benefits of disciplined savings, competitive returns, and lifestyle privileges to a wider segment of our community. This initiative underscores our mission to integrate financial inclusion with long-term value creation.' BisB's broader Tejoori Al Islami proposition comprises a diverse range of segment-specific products that address the unique financial needs of various customer groups. These include Tejoori Premium, the flagship account with hightier privileges; Tejoori for Her, for women; Tejoori First Time Winner, aimed to awarding the long-term account holders who have not won any prizes in the past,; Tejoori Youth, which supports young savers in building financial responsibility from an early age; Tejoori SME, tailored for entrepreneurs and retail businesses. The launch of 'Tejoori Saver' and 'Tejoori Saver Lite' marks a strategic step forward in the continued development of BisB's savings ecosystem, reinforcing the Bank's role as a trusted partner in building financial resilience and prosperity for the community.

Naba Alsaha and Strataphy Partner to Launch One of Saudi Arabia's First Geothermal-Cooled Hospitals

In a pioneering step for sustainable healthcare infrastructure, Naba Alsaha Hospital, a leading Saudi healthcare group, has partnered with clean cooling innovator Strataphy to deploy advanced, subsurface-powered cooling systems for its new hospital complex in Riyadh, currently under construction. 'This project highlights how geothermal technology can meet the strict reliability and operational demands of the healthcare sector,' said Ahmed Alhani, COO of Strataphy. 'Hospitals require uninterrupted cooling performance around the clock. With our CAS model and subsurface technology, we're able to deliver that performance while significantly reducing grid impact and carbon emissions.' Saudi Arabia has more than 2,300 healthcare facilities across the Kingdom. With each facility requiring on average 1.5 megawatts-thermal (MW-th) of cooling capacity, the national healthcare sector represents a total thermal demand of approximately 3.45 gigawatts-thermal (GW-th). This places immense strain on the power grid and creates a clear opportunity for cleaner, more efficient solutions. At the heart of the system is Strataphy's PrimeLoop—a patent-pending geothermal hybrid architecture that uses subsurface temperatures to deliver continuous and efficient building cooling. Unlike traditional HVAC systems, which rely on electricity-intensive compressors and degrade in performance during high ambient temperatures, PrimeLoop operates silently and consistently, delivering a Coefficient of Performance (COP) over 5, more than double that of conventional methods. The solution is offered through Strataphy's Cooling as a Service (CAS) model—turning cooling from a costly CapEx decision into a monthly operating service. Strataphy handles design, drilling, installation, and long-term operations and maintenance, with clients only paying for actual cooling used. This removes technical and financial risk while improving ESG outcomes. 'As demand for high-performance medical infrastructure grows, we're proud to be among the first hospitals in the Kingdom to adopt this innovative, sustainable approach,' said Nayef Al-Jishi, Business Development Manager at Naba Alsaha Hospital. 'For us, it's about delivering long-term value to patients, operators, and the national grid. This partnership with Strataphy reinforces our commitment to future-ready, resilient, and environmentally aligned healthcare facilities.' 'This collaboration reflects a broader transformation underway across the Kingdom,' concluded Ammar Alali, CEO of Strataphy. 'The healthcare sector—with its 24/7 operational needs—is ideally suited to lead the geothermal cooling transition. We're proud to help power that shift and demonstrate how clean infrastructure can meet both performance and sustainability goals.'
