ATHENS, Greece – May 5, 2025 – PRLog — British Commonwealth Investment Bank (BCIBL) is proud to announce that it has officially changed its name to Bastion Commonwealth Investment Bank (BCIBL), effective immediately. This rebranding marks a significant milestone in the institution’s ongoing evolution and commitment to resilience, innovation, and global financial stewardship.
The name “Bastion” reflects the bank’s unwavering dedication to being a trusted stronghold for its clients, partners, and stakeholders across the Commonwealth and beyond. It embodies strength, integrity, and forward-thinking values that align with the bank’s strategic direction and international aspirations.
“Our new name, Bastion Commonwealth Investment Bank, represents more than a brand change—it reflects our role as a fortress of opportunity and trust in today’s dynamic financial world,” said Low Chun Keong, Managing Director of BCIB. “We remain steadfast in our mission to deliver superior investment solutions while upholding the principles that have guided us since our founding.”
HSH Michail, President of the Union States of the British Commonwealth, also expressed his full support for the rebranding initiative:
“The renaming to Bastion Commonwealth Investment Bank is both timely and symbolic. It represents a renewed commitment to economic stability, institutional strength, and regional cooperation across the Commonwealth. Bastion will play a pivotal role in advancing our collective financial ambitions and promoting inclusive prosperity across our member states.”
The Halal Status issued by Circle H for Bastion Commonwealth Investment Bank remains unchanged. This reaffirmation underscores the Bank’s steadfast commitment to ethical, transparent, and Shariah-compliant financial practices. The Halal certification, granted by Circle H—an internationally recognized authority in Halal assurance—serves as a vital endorsement for our operations, especially for clients and stakeholders in Muslim-majority markets.
Halal status is not merely symbolic; it plays a critical role in ensuring that the Bank’s services align with Islamic financial principles, which prohibit interest (riba), excessive uncertainty (gharar), and unethical investments. Maintaining this certification reinforces trust with investors and clients who prioritize Shariah-compliant financial solutions, and it opens up opportunities for strategic partnerships and growth within the global Islamic finance sector, which continues to expand rapidly.
Bastion Commonwealth Investment Bank remains dedicated to upholding the highest standards of integrity, governance, and cultural sensitivity across all regions in which we operate.
All operations, services, and client relationships will continue uninterrupted under the new name. The rebranding includes a refreshed visual identity and digital presence, which will be rolled out across all platforms in the coming weeks. Clients and partners can expect the same high standards of service and dedication, now under a name that better reflects the institution’s vision for the future.
