NCB

NCB is an acronym used internationally to denote several distinct organizations and offices. The exact meaning varies by country and sector, including finance, government administration, charity, and law enforcement.

In Saudi Arabia, National Commercial Bank (NCB) referred to one of the largest banks in the country. In 2021 it merged with Samba Financial Group to form Saudi National Bank, and the former NCB brand is now part of SNB.

In the United Kingdom, the National Coal Board (NCB) was the state-owned body managing coal production and mining after nationalization in the late 1940s. It was renamed British Coal in 1987 as the industry underwent restructuring, with many mines privatized in the following years.

Also in the UK, the National Children's Bureau uses the acronym NCB. It is a charitable organization that supports children's welfare, rights, and services through policy work, research, and program delivery.

In international policing, NCB stands for National Central Bureau. These are the national offices within Interpol member countries that coordinate communications and operations with the Interpol network and other countries.
