History
Investment Bank of Greece SA is established in 2000. In 2004, it acquires through merger Marfin Hellenic Securities, one of the largest brokerage firms in Greece and a member of the Athens Exchange since 1990. With this transaction, IBG enters into an important field of specialized investment services. In 2007 Egnatia Finance, an investment company, is also incorporated through merger and IBG's market share grows further. In 2008, acquisition of Laiki Attalos Brokerage marks the end of the expansion cycle and cements IBG's leadership in the investment services sector.
Since 2012 Cyprus Popular Bank (CPB) remains the shareholder of IBG. In 2013 all operations of Cyprus Popular Bank in Greece are transferred to Piraeus Bank, with the exception of IBG which, due to its position and dynamics, remains an independent banking and investment institution. Since 2013, IBG continues to operate independently, holding a prominent role in the investment services market and continually developing its range of banking products and services.
