The Salaam Somali Bank (SSB) is a bank headquartered in Mogadishu, Somalia.

Overview

Salaam Somali Bank was established in October 2009. It is the first international bank to operate in Somalia since 1991.[1]

A Muslim financial institution, the bank offers personal banking, commercial banking, and non-profit banking.[1] Its Islamic banking services and facilities include Mudharabah, Murabahah and Musharakah. Additionally, the bank offers online banking, mobile banking and debit cards.[2]

In 2014, the institution also began providing automatic teller machine (ATM) services at a location in Mogadishu.[3][4] The devices operate in English, and were at their launch billed as the first of their kind in Somalia.[5][6] However, the separate Salaam Bank institution headquartered in Bosaso already provided ATM services for several years prior.[7]
