Kuwait, 26 April 2026 
Burgan Bank has concluded the resumption draws for its flagship Kanz account, crowning more than 250 winners - including Kanz’s fourth millionaire - across postponed draws covering the period from March 2025 to April 2026. Conducted over five consecutive days from 19 to 23 April 2026, the draws mark the full return of Kanz and to Burgan making dreams come true. They also reaffirm the Bank’s commitment to transparency and customer trust. 
The completed draw cycle included all previously postponed monthly draws, alongside the semi-annual draw and the highly anticipated annual grand draw for the year 2025. The Bank also hosted a live broadcast of Marina FM from its headquarters, which covered the announcement of the winner of the grand prize of KD 1,500,000, reflecting the Bank’s commitment to enhancing transparency and engagement with the public.
A total of 20 winners each received KD 2,000 in the monthly draws, while one winner received KD 500,000 in the semi-annual draw, and one grand prize winner was awarded KD 1,500,000 in the annual draw. All customers who maintained a minimum balance of KD 200 during the suspension period remained eligible to participate retroactively, ensuring that no qualifying customer lost their chance to win.
The successful completion of the draws represents more than the return of a prize-linked account. It signals the fulfillment of a commitment made to customers at a time when clarity, confidence, and continuity matter most. With every draw conducted under regulatory oversight and the supervision of internal and external auditors, Burgan Bank reinforced the principles that underpin both Kanz and its wider retail banking proposition: fairness, integrity, accountability, and a customer-first approach that honors participation and rewards loyalty. 
Commenting on the successful completion of the Kanz resumption draws, Mr. Bader Mohammed Ali, General Manager - Retail Banking at Burgan Bank, said: “Today marks an important moment not only for Kanz, but for the trust our customers place in Burgan Bank every day. From the outset, our commitment was clear: every eligible customer would retain every opportunity they had earned, and every postponed draw would be carried out in a transparent, structured, and fair manner. The successful completion of these draws reflects that commitment in action. We are pleased to have delivered on our promise and to have celebrated more than 250 winners across this comprehensive draw cycle.”
He added: “Kanz has long represented more than the possibility of winning. It represents disciplined saving, long-term aspiration, and the belief that banking products should create meaningful value in customers’ lives. That is why this resumption was so important. It was about restoring momentum, rewarding loyalty, and reaffirming the confidence our customers can continue to place in Burgan Bank.”
“The response to the return of Kanz has reflected the strength of the relationship Burgan Bank has built with its customers over time. Kanz continues to resonate with customers because it combines saving with tangible rewards. Each draw represents an opportunity, and each winner reflects the value of consistent saving.”
On this occasion, Ms. Danah Faisal Al Jasem, General Manager - Corporate Communications at Burgan Bank, stated: “We congratulate the fourth millionaire who won the annual grand prize of the Kanz draws, and we wish him continued success in pursuing his goals and fulfilling his aspirations. We also extend our sincerest congratulations to the winner of the semi-annual prize of KWD 500,000, as well as to all winners of the monthly draws, and wish the best of luck to the rest of our customers in the upcoming draws. At the bank, we advise winners to invest their prizes wisely to ensure sustainable financial stability and growth, noting that Burgan Bank’s team stands ready to provide financial guidance and advice that supports them over the long term.”
Al Jasem added: “Today, the distance between us and our community has become shorter, and we are committed to solidifying this relationship by delivering distinctive and more engaging banking experiences that meet our customers’ needs and turn their dreams into reality. Over the five days of the Kanz draws, we announced more than 250 winners, in addition to offering an interactive experience through daily competitions on both our social media platforms as well as via the livestream on our YouTube channel to engage the community with us in these joyful moments and provide additional chances to win. We also reaffirm our ongoing commitment in delivering innovative experiences that strengthen our customers’ trust in us and align with their lifestyles and future aspirations.”
Hundreds of winners and one millionaire crowned
Over the five-day draw schedule, Burgan Bank announced winners across all Kanz draw categories, with the monthly draws creating multiple moments of excitement throughout the week. The semi-annual and annual draws brought the resumption cycle to a close, highlighting the scale of rewards associated with the account and reinforcing its position as one of the Bank’s flagship offerings.
Winners announced as part of the Kanz resumption draws include:

• Annual Grand Prize Winner - KD 1,500,000: Mohammed Farouk Ahmad Mardini
• Semi-Annual Prize Winner - KD 500,000: Abdullah Mohammad Abu Alhous

Kanz: an account designed to offer customers opportunities to enter prize draws
For Burgan Bank, the conclusion of the resumption draws also opens the door to the next phase of Kanz. Alongside the completion of all postponed draws, Burgan Bank also introduced the 2026 Kanz draw calendar, giving customers renewed visibility into the account’s future and reinforcing confidence in the continuity of the program. 
Speaking on the broader value proposition of the account, Mr. Hamad Haji, Executive Manager - Products and Customer Segments at Burgan Bank, said: “Kanz continues to strengthen its position as a savings account that offers rewarding winning opportunities to customers year-round. The account enables customers to qualify with a minimum balance of KD 200, and increased chances of winning with every additional KD 25. What makes Kanz meaningful is not only the scale of its prizes, but the way it encourages customers to think proactively about saving and financial planning, which aligns with the “Let’s Be Aware” (Diraya) banking awareness campaign.”
He continued: “As we move beyond the resumption period, our focus remains on strengthening the customer experience around Kanz and ensuring that customers feel informed, included, and excited about what lies ahead. The successful completion of these draws was a necessary and important step, but it is also part of a broader journey to deliver customer-centric products that are transparent, relevant, and rewarding.”
The Bank also emphasized that the resumption process was designed to protect customers’ participation without disadvantage. Every qualifying account holder who maintained the required minimum balance during the suspension period remained eligible for the corresponding draws, preserving the fairness of the program and reflecting Burgan’s customer-first philosophy. 
Mr. Haji added: “All Kanz draws are conducted following regulatory approvals, under the supervision of both internal and external auditors, ensuring the highest standards of transparency and fairness.”
By completing all postponed draws and honoring every eligible opportunity, Burgan Bank has reinforced Kanz’s position as a flagship savings product that continues to reward customers throughout the year.
