Opening an AlDanah Account

Gulf Bank’s AlDanah account is open to both Kuwaiti and non-Kuwaiti residents of Kuwait. A minimum of KD 200 is required to open an account and the same amount must be maintained for customers to be eligible for the upcoming AlDanah draws. If the customer’s account balance falls below KD 200 at any given time, a KD 2 fee will be charged to the account monthly until the minimum balance is met. Customers who open an AlDanah account and deposit more than the minimum balance are automatically entered into the AlDanah draws and are eligible to win.

To enter the upcoming draws, Gulf Bank customers can open an AlDanah Millionaire account at any time. To increase their chances of winning, account holders must either maintain the minimum deposit amount of KD 200, or increase their AlDanah savings — the higher the balance in an account, the more chances are accumulated over time. Opening an AlDanah Millionaire account is also easier than ever, with customers able to open their accounts online through Gulf Bank’s Online and Mobile Banking services.

The Al Danah Millionaire account is one of the oldest and most prestigious savings accounts in Kuwait, and was designed to encourage a culture of savings in society and reward customers for their commitment to saving on a regular basis.
