Bank of Jordan

Overview

Bank of Jordan understands its obligations towards society and its role in enabling growth and progress for the community at large. Thus, it continued to extend cash and other forms of support to various community-based organizations, charities, and voluntary associations.

In edutainment, the Bank renewed its partnership agreement with the children’s “Hikayat Simsim”, the local version of the renowned Sesame Street series, for the eighth year in a row. It also remained committed to granting children and their parents free access to the Children’s Museum on the first Friday of each month, under a partnership forged nine years ago.

Furthermore, the Bank offered several scholarships in the UNRWA-run Faculty of Educational Sciences and Arts. Other scholarships were offered through Bank of Jordan Fund in cooperation with the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. This is in addition to supporting Elia Nuqul Institute and Amideast University scholarship programs. Moreover, the Bank covered the tuition costs of five female students enrolled in a six-month training workshop on healthcare assistance (2017-2018) organized by Princess Taghreed Institute for Development and Training.

On another front, Bank of Jordan supported the Community Financial Awareness Project that introduced students to key financial and banking concepts. It also contributed to awareness-raising campaigns to educate citizens on how to manage their savings and personal property.
