Founded in 2004, Afghanistan International Bank (AIB) has emerged as the most valued and respected bank in Afghanistan. With nearly two decades of leadership, AIB combines international experience with deep local understanding, delivering financial services against the highest international standards.

We exist to play the role of a catalyst for economic development, fostering opportunities that empower businesses, individuals, and societies. We believe that through establishing strong financial infrastructure, we are helping directly to ensure prosperity for the people and Afghanistan.

• Foreign and local corporations

With 37 branch offices in major cities like Kabul, Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif, Kandahar, and Jalalabad, and the largest deposit base in the country, we provide solid banking solutions backed by international money transfer facilities to all countries — a difference from other Afghan banks.
