Chamber completes first digital transformation phase

Members can access exclusive services through the eKey system. These enhancements aim to simplify procedures, improve access to information and services, and increase efficiency for the business community.

Bahrain Chamber executive committee member Hasan Kaiksow said the completion of the first phase marked a significant step in modernising the Chamber's services. He said it reflected the Chamber's commitment to using technology to provide integrated, flexible services that meet the needs of members and business owners and keep pace with changes in the business environment and digital economy.

Mr Kaiksow said digital transformation goes beyond moving traditional services online. It changes how the Chamber serves and engages with members, putting traders at the centre and helping them access services and complete transactions more efficiently and with less effort.

The interactive map allows users to explore commercial activities listed under commercial registrations and access related information. It is designed to help business owners and investors understand economic activity and identify potential opportunities and areas for cooperation in Bahrain's market.

The Chamber has expanded its digital services with WhatsApp Business, an online member services guide, exclusive eKey-accessible services, improved attestation services and appointment booking at all branches. Mr Kaiksow said these initiatives aim to simplify procedures and improve members' experience, transaction efficiency and service quality.

He noted that improving digital services can strengthen the business environment's competitiveness by making support services for the private sector more efficient. The first phase provides a foundation for the next stages of the plan, which will involve developing further online services and improving the integration of digital systems and channels.

The Chamber invited its members and commercial registration holders to make use of the new and enhanced digital services, including the interactive map, WhatsApp Business, the member services guide and exclusive services available through eKey. The Chamber reaffirmed its commitment to developing innovative services that make doing business in Bahrain easier.
