The National Commercial Bank Jamaica Limited (NCB) had its genesis over 175 years when in 1837 the Colonial Bank of London, England, opened its doors on Harbour Street in Kingston. Through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the Bank eventually became known, in 1977, as National Commercial Bank Jamaica Limited.
Today trading on both the Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago stock exchanges, NCB has grown to become Jamaica’s largest financial services provider with 40.7% market share by assets of the commercial banking sector (as at September 2012). NCB provides a wealth of financial services through its network of 42 locations and over 170 ABMs islandwide. These services include chequing and savings accounts, credit card facilities, personal and commercial loans, insurance, and wealth management; supported by Internet banking, along with telephone banking and a toll-free 24/7 Customer Care Centre at 1-888-NCB-FIRST (1-888-622-3477).
