Deep Roots

The roots of National Commercial Bank Jamaica Limited (NCB) extend over some 170 years to 1837 when the Colonial Bank of London, England opened its doors on Harbour Street in the flourishing city of Kingston Jamaica. Over the years as the face of banking of Jamaica began to change, and through a series of mergers and acquisitions, the bank eventually emerged in August 1977 as National Commercial Bank Jamaica Limited.
