Profile

Since its inception in 1995, Capital Bank has grown to become one of the top financial institutions in Jordan, offering the Jordanian market a comprehensive set of commercial and investment banking services tailored to the needs of individuals and corporate clients alike.

Specialized in trade finance activities, Capital Bank's mission is to deliver reliable and flexible solutions to accommodate its clients' time constraints and business schedules. Capital Bank offers its corporate clients a wide variety of services from corporate finance, to commercial finance, to asset management, to securities brokerage, and market research through Capital Investments, a wholly owned subsidiary of Capital Bank with a paid-up capital of JD 10 million (USD 14 million) that acts as the Bank's investment arm. The Bank also offers unique services in the Iraqi market through the National Bank of Iraq, in which it owns a controlling stake.

In addition to its corporate financial services, the Bank also provides its individual customers retail services such as credit cards, personal loans, car loans, home loans, competitive interest rates and flexible terms on different categories of personal bank accounts.

First established as the Export & Finance Bank, the Bank initially boasted an authorized capital of JD 20 million (USD 28 million), which has steadily increased over the years to reach JD 150 million (USD 211.566 million) under the Bank's new identity as Capital Bank. The Bank's numerous successes in the banking sector earned it a BBB rating by Capital Intelligence, the international credit rating agency, which indicates the Bank's good credit quality and strong financial position; today Capital Bank's total assets are valued at JD 1.160 million.

Capital Bank provides its banking services through its main branch located in Shmeisani in Amman, as well as its 11 other branches strategically distributed across the country.

The Bank's major shareholders include each of the Social Security Corporation, the International Finance Corporation, the Darwazeh Group, the Nuqul Group, the Al Salem Group, the Abu Jaber Group, as well as major shareholders from several other countries that include Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Iraq.

Capital Bank is a 72 percent shareholder in the National Bank of Iraq (NBI), in which it has management control. NBI was established in 1995 as a private corporate company located in Iraq and commenced its operations with a paid up capital of ID 400 million. Through successive increases, NBI’s paid up capital is anticipated to reach ID 50 billion (USD 43 million).
