QNB Finansbank
The main office of the Turkish bank QNB Finansbank is in Levent, Istanbul. It was started in 1987 by the famous Turkish banker Hüsnü Özyeğin. For a while, it was the Turkish bank with the most branches abroad. In 2016, the QNB Group, based in Doha, Qatar, which was the largest bank in the Middle East and Africa at the time, bought Finansbank from the National Bank of Greece (NBG). The NBG had bought the domestic operations of Finansbank in 2006 and spun off the international operations as Credit Europe Bank.
The bank had 647 branches and 13,000 workers as of September 30, 2015. Finansbank made a profit of 673 million TL in the third quarter of 2015. Its total loans went up to 57 billion 194 million TL, its total assets went up to 90 billion 410 million TL, its customer account portfolio went up to 47 billion 306 million TL, and its total equity went up to 8 billion 937 million TL.
Late in 2015, the National Bank of Greece said it would sell Finansbank to the Qatari QNB Group for 2.7 billion Euros. On June 15, 2016, the QNB Group closed its purchase of Finansbank.
