About Us

Welcome to the National Bank of Vanuatu (NBV), Vanuatu’s own bank.  At NBV, we are committed to providing a range of quality banking products and services to businesses, government agencies and individuals throughout Vanuatu and beyond.  Our customers include small businesses in rural areas, larger businesses domiciled in Vanuatu, and International customers who require offshore banking services.  Whatever your banking needs are, we can serve you.

NBV is proud to be the only commercial bank in Vanuatu that supports the wider national interest.  With a network of 21 branches extending from the Banks Islands in the north to Aneitym in the south, NBV is the only bank that provides services outside the main population centres of Port Vila and Luganville.  All profit earned by NBV is returned to the people of Vanuatu – paid as dividends to the Government or reinvested to improve and extend banking services.  In every sense, NBV is Vanuatu’s own bank.

NBV was established in August 1991 under the NBV Act of 1989.  The Government of Vanuatu is the sole shareholder.  NBV’s Board of Directors and Executive Managers function with complete independence from the shareholder, and upon strictly commercial terms within the international-standard regulatory requirements of the Reserve Bank of Vanuatu.
