The National Bank of Samoa is a locally owned and operated commercial trading bank. From its humble beginnings as a family owned and managed business in the mid ‘90’s, nbs has grown to be a major player in the Samoan banking and commercial sectors.

In 1995 the Meredith family started the bank when they saw a need for a local bank to support Samoans and Samoan businesses. This was the start of something special. Today nbs offers a full range of services to customers, both personal and business. This includes savings accounts, cheque accounts, loans, overdraft facilities through to a comprehensive offering of international services.

Over the last 20 years, nbs has undergone many changes as it grows and reinvents itself to meet the changing needs of the market. The bank continues to ask its customers what they want and keep abreast of new banking and IT technologies. nbs also aspires to be a good corporate citizen and do what it can to help its community and the Samoan economy.
