Association of Banks in Jordan

The Association of Banks in Jordan (ABJ) was established in November 1978 and registered at that time as an ordinary association in accordance with the provisions of the Societies and Social Charities law number (33) for the year 1966 and its amendments.
In 2000, the Banking Law number (28) was issued, whereof Article 95 stipulated the creation of an association named the Association of Banks. By virtue of this law, the association's new bylaws number (35) of 2005 was issued on March 29, 2006, hence becoming an association pursuant to the Banking Law.
The association is currently a member of the Union of Arab Banks.
