Lesha Bank is the first independent Shari’a-compliant investment bank authorized by the QFC Regulatory Authority (QFCRA) and is listed on the Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE: QFBQ). Established in 2008, Lesha Bank began operations in 2009 with an initial focus on investments in private equity and real estate.

In 2022, the Bank rebranded to Lesha Bank (formerly Qatar First Bank) as part of the next stage of its ambitious journey. This rebranding reflects the Bank’s growth and aligns with its goal to provide high-net-worth individuals and corporates with innovative Shari’a-compliant investment opportunities, empowering them and offering greater financial freedom.

Lesha Bank has an authorized share capital and a paid-up capital of QAR 1.12 billion.

The Bank currently offers alternative investment solutions across aviation, real estate, private equity, and infrastructure, in addition to asset management services catering to both individual and institutional investors. It also provides comprehensive investment banking advisory services to corporate clients.

Lesha Bank was ranked among Forbes Middle East’s Best Asset Managers for both 2024 and 2025, reflecting its continued performance and institutional strength.

The Bank operates two wholly owned subsidiaries: Lesha Capital in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Lesha Aviation Services (Ireland) Limited in Ireland, further strengthening its regional and international footprint.
