BNA — Banque Nationale d'Algérie Legal

Banque Nationale d'Algérie (BNA) is one of the largest public banks in Algeria, serving millions of individual and corporate clients across the country. Founded in 1966 as part of Algeria's post-independence economic development strategy, BNA plays a critical role in financing agriculture, industry, and infrastructure projects. The bank's Legal Department handles a vast range of matters including credit recovery litigation, regulatory compliance with the Banque d'Algérie (Central Bank) regulations, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) compliance, real estate mortgage disputes, and commercial banking law. Legal professionals at BNA gain exposure to Algeria's banking regulatory framework (Ordonnance n°03-11 relative à la monnaie et au crédit) and develop expertise in financial litigation across Algeria's court system.
