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 25 branches and 55 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 570 employees to deliver highly professional services for retail and corporate customers, financial institutions and government organizations.

At NBB, we have always aspired to be an integral part of the community within which we conduct our business. This aspiration was the prime inspiration behind the setting up of a dedicated Corporate Social Responsibility Programme. The programme was conceptualized to support community development in the Kingdom and enhance the quality of life for all its residents.
NBB has consistently strived to develop an ethos which emphasise the fact that the Bank’s success is completely dependent on the customers and the society in which it operates. NBB takes pride in being the most trusted financial institution in the Kingdom. We believe we have a responsibility and a duty of care as part of a wider social community. This means that the Corporate Social Responsibility is not a sideline. Rather, it is interwoven in the organization, our mindset, the way we conduct our business and how we express our commitment to the world around us.
