In today's globalized economy, international money transfers have become essential for individuals and businesses conducting cross-border financial transactions. Arab Bank Plc, a leading financial institution in Palestine, offers diverse banking services and efficient international transfer channels to meet growing demand for cross-border payments.
Founded in 1930 and headquartered in Amman, Jordan, Arab Bank has established itself as one of the Middle East's largest commercial banks and a trusted financial partner for Arab communities worldwide. The bank maintains an extensive branch network across major Palestinian cities including Nablus, Ramallah, Hebron, Bethlehem, Jenin, Tulkarm, and Qalqilya.
These branches provide traditional banking services such as deposits, loans, and investment management alongside specialized international transfer solutions. For global transactions, SWIFT codes (Bank Identifier Codes) serve as crucial routing information, consisting of 8-11 alphanumeric characters that uniquely identify financial institutions worldwide.

While mobile payment applications offer convenience for small transfers, traditional banking channels remain preferable for large or complex international transactions due to enhanced security protocols and regulatory compliance.
Processing times for international transfers vary depending on correspondent banks and destination countries. Arab Bank advises customers to confirm applicable fees, exchange rates, and regulatory requirements before initiating transfers to avoid unexpected delays or additional charges.
