What is Central Bank of Bahrain?
In short
The Central Bank of Bahrain is the national monetary authority named on card and payment products in Bahrain, and it tells you who supervises the provider.
The Central Bank of Bahrain is the national monetary authority for Bahrain. A card or payment product that names it is tying itself to national supervision rather than to a card scheme alone. For readers weighing prepaid accounts and cards available in Bahrain, the name is one of the first things to look for on the provider's own terms. It also tells you little about what you pay. Fees, daily limits and how quickly a disputed payment is refunded all come from the account rules, so read those next to the name.
