NBC believes that its business cannot grow successfully independent of the development of the community within which it operates. It is for this reason that NBC has specific social responsibility obligations to the community.

The NBC CSR Fund will seek to advance NBC’s image through growing partnerships by providing financial and other resources to disadvantaged communities to ensure the sustainable development of such communities. Community development implies that a range of supportive resources is applied to increase the prosperity and capacity of given communities. To contribute towards real and sustainable business development, leading to community development, NBC must seek to be more than just a bank.

The NBC CSR Fund will seek to create partnerships with other organizations by providing financial and non-financial resources in the form of grants and /or donations to sustainable community development programmes. Funding is channeled towards Education, Health and Job Creation, generally accepted as the pillars of a healthy and prosperous society.
