Pensioners in New Providence may collect their cheques at NIB Headquarters on Baillou Hill Road starting Monday, November 25, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. Pensioners in the Family Islands may collect their payments at their Local Office beginning Wednesday, November 27, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. 

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank our pensioners for their patience and understanding as we address this matter, Further updates will be posted on our website at www.nib-bahamas.com or via our official Facebook page.
