National Bank of Pakistan

About

National Bank of Pakistan is the country's largest public sector commercial bank, established in 1949 as an emergency measure after the newly independent state lost access to the banking infrastructure of pre-partition India. For much of its early history it acted as an agent of the State Bank of Pakistan in places the central bank had no presence, and it still carries out government treasury functions alongside ordinary commercial banking. It is majority-owned by the Government of Pakistan and listed on the Pakistan Stock Exchange.
