The Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) operates as Jordan's monetary authority, founded in 1964 with an independent identity. Its core mandate is to maintain monetary and financial stability while serving as the banker to banks, specialized lending institutions, and as the fiscal agent for the government and official public bodies. It also develops and enforces rules to ensure fair and transparent dealings between financial institutions and customers, and it works to raise public awareness of banking and financial activities. Based in Jordan, the CBJ has pursued recent initiatives to modernize the payments landscape, including the launch of a Real-Time Gross Settlement System to enable instant interbank transfers. The bank's activities also include efforts to widen digital financial inclusion through partnerships and related programs.
