History

Hüsnü Özyeğin founded on 26 October 1987, Finansbank, 2003 acquired the National Bank of Greece a minority stake.

For estimated 3.0 billion U.S. dollars, the National Bank of Greece bought the remaining share of Hüsnü Özyeğin. Özyeğin originally wanted to take at this level shares of NBG, but these were not available at the time on the market. In the wake of the Greek financial crisis, the acquisition of Finansbank to NBG should prove to be a balance, while in 2010 the NBG import a loss of 159 million euros in Greece due to large write-downs, the financing bank posted a 251 million euro profit.

Since the NBG Group focused on Southeast Europe and retired due to the high saturation of the market from Central Europe, the local branches of Finansbank were not part of the acquisition. They were renamed to Credit Europe Bank and continue to be wholly owned by the group of companies of Özyeğin. Since then, the Finansbank is active in six countries, including Russia and Malta.

2014 the Bank acquired for 303 million euro the few years before built 170m high skyscraper Krystal Kule, to use it as a new headquarters.
