History
editOperations commenced in a hotel room in August that year, and the bank moved into its new headquarters in Karaköy the following month. Its first 13 branches (5 outside Istanbul) were also opened.[1] With a revitalization program initiated, branches were opened under a new corporate identity. Expansion was supported by the acquisition of branch offices from other banks, including Tarişbank in 2002. Internet banking was introduced in 1999, and Deniz Yatırım was founded in 2001.[1]
2002 saw the bank move into its new headquarters in Esentepe, Şişli, and the acquisition of Tarişbank. The bank's IPO on the Istanbul stock exchange took place in 2004.[1]
On May 31, 2006, Dexia announced it had acquired a 75% stake in the company for US$2.437 billion. The remaining 25% of the shares were held publicly. It remained the primary shareholder until 2012, when Sberbank agreed to buy DenizBank for US$3.6 billion from the financially troubled Dexia. [2][3][4]
Emirates NBD agreed to buy DenizBank from Sberbank in 2018. The deal was completed in July 2019.[5]
