A Career at Jordan International Bank

 

Jordan Internal Bank was established in 1984 in response to a clear demand for a financial institution that could combine experience, knowledge and cultural understanding across two continents to fulfil client’s financial needs. Over three decades the bank has evolved from those founding principles to offer a full range of retail and investment banking services to its clients.
