NBB Unveils Multi-Currency Debit Card Feature for Frequent Travellers

The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) has launched its Multi-Currency Debit Card feature, allowing customers to manage and spend in multiple currencies through a single card.

Available on Express Saver savings account debit cards, the feature enables account holders to link up to eight foreign currencies to their card, providing a more flexible way to spend abroad and shop online.

The multi-currency debit card feature is particularly tailored for frequent travellers and students studying abroad, enabling seamless spending in local currencies of different countries such as the US Dollar, British Pound, Euro, and major GCC currencies.

NBB chief executive officer for retail banking Subah Al Zayani commented on the launch, saying 'Today's travellers and students studying abroad need banking solutions that move with them across borders and currencies. With our multi-currency feature, clients can manage and spend in multiple currencies through a single debit card, allowing them to pay like a local abroad.'

The launch reflects NBB's focus on enhancing customer convenience and driving digital adoption.
