To open a bank account in Bahrain you'll generally need your CPR (national ID) card, your passport, and proof of income or employment — typically a salary certificate or a letter from your employer/LMRA. Major retail banks include National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) and BBK, alongside several local and international banks with branches across Manama, Seef and the malls. Exact requirements vary by bank and account type, so confirm the document list with your chosen branch; many banks now let you start the application online.
