Created in 1989 during a merger between two of the largest banks of the time (BIMA and SMB), the National Bank of Mauritania (BNM) has an entirely private capital of 6 billion ouguiya. Since 1991, his vision is that of a National Bank, accessible to all, involved in economic development with a strong presence in the main cities of the country. Since then, the BNM has implemented a strategy to develop its portfolio with corporate clients to extend to professionals, individuals, companies and the diaspora. In just a few years, it has become a major player in the Mauritanian banking landscape with an activity focused on both geographical and commercial proximity.
