National Commercial Bank Limited, commonly known as NCB, was a financial institution based in Mauritius with its head office situated in Port Louis.[1] It was one of the commercial banks licensed by the Bank of Mauritius, the country's central bank and the nation's banking regulator.
History
[edit]National Commercial Bank Limited was incorporated on Thursday April 9, 2015 and issued a commercial banking license by the Bank of Mauritius on Friday April 10, 2015. National Commercial Bank acquired the assets and some liabilities of the now defunct Bramer Banking Corporation.[2] This was after Bramer Banking Corporation's banking license was revoked by the Bank of Mauritius following a liquidity crisis at the bank.[3][4] The transfer of bank accounts and operations of the former Bramer Banking Corporation to NCB was held on Saturday April 11, 2015.[1]
On Monday January 4, 2016, NCB was merged into state-owned Mauritius Post and Cooperative Bank to form Mauritius Bank (MauBank).[5][6] The newly formed bank received a banking licence on the same day.[7]
