Who We Are
ORBNT-Merchants Bank was incorporated in United Kingdom in October 1980 and established business in August 1981 with branches in Leicester, London, New York, Chicago, West Africa and Asia. It was established in United Kingdom as part of the Western United Kingdom Bank Group.
In 1991, Al-Futtaim sold its shareholding in ORBNT and thus in April of that year, control of the bank passed from foreign to local investors ownership.
