OTTOMAIT BAITK.
Chief Office : Istanbul, Turkey.
London Office: 26, Throgmorton Street, E.G.2.
Capital -
Authorised and issued £10,000,000 in 500,000
shares of £20; Paid up, £5,000,000 -
£10 per share.
This bank was established in 1863 to act as central bank
in Turkey, a right recently withdrawn in favour of a new
central bank, which began operations on October 3, 1931.
The Ottoman Bank's headquarters are at Istanbul and there
are agencies at London and Paris. Besides offices in
these centres and at Manchester, Marseilles, and Nice, the
bank has about 65 offices covering Turkey, Cyprus, Egypt,
Greek Macedonia, Palestine, Transjordania, Iraq and Persia.
In 1925 the bank established an Agricultural Bank in
Cyprus. In addition the bank has an interest in Syria
and the Lebanon, through an affiliated institution, the
Banque de Syrie et du Gran Liban; in Yugoslavia, through
the Banque Franco-Serbe; and, in Rumania, through the
Bank of Rumania. The influx into Greece of a population
from Asia Minor which had already formed part of the bank's
clientele led to the establishment at Athens of an
affiliated institution under the title of the British-
French Discount Bank.
Despite its close association with Turkey and the
Turkish Government, the Bank has always been a Franco-
British concern; control is exercised by a Direction
^-en^rale at Istanbul and by a General Ccmmittee with
separate sections for Paris and London.
