Established in 1957 as Bahrain’s first locally owned Bank, NBB has grown steadily to become the country’s leading provider of retail and commercial banking services.With a major share of the total domestic commercial banking market and the largest network of 24 branches and 54 ATMs, the Bank plays a key role in the local economy.

At the same time, the Bank continues to diversify and develop capabilities to capture business opportunities in the Gulf region and international markets. Our Abu Dhabi and Riyadh branch lead the way in this initiative.

Publicly listed on the Bahrain Stock Exchange, the Bank is owned 51% by private shareholders, mainly Bahrainis, and 49% by Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company, which is 100% owned by the Government of the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Market driven and customer led, the Bank harnesses the latest technology to people skills, enabling its 593 employees to deliver highly professional services for retail and corporate customers, financial institutions and government organizations.

 In 2009, for the 9th consecutive year, JP Morgan Chase presented their Quality Recognition Award to NBB for achieving a consistently high standard of operational efficiency.
