BFC is a leading money transfer and foreign exchange company based in the GCC. Established in 1917, it was the very first foreign exchange firm in Bahrain and has a long-established, well-trusted reputation for always moving money smartly, efficiently, dependably and at the best rates available.
The acquisition also included Bahrain Exchange Company (BEC) in Kuwait, BFC Exchange Limited (formerly named EzRemit Limited) in the United Kingdom and BFC Forex & Financial Services PVT Ltd (BFC Forex) in India. Following this acquisition, BFC Group Holdings was established as the holding company for the four individual businesses.

In addition it is present in over 30 countries with more than 44,000 agent locations worldwide, through its own money transfer product ‘EzRemit’ and has an extensive global reach of over 200 countries through its partnership with MoneyGram, a leading international money transfer company.
