History
Ghavanim started as a charity loan fund then in July 2000 was restructured as a financial institute and renamed the Ghavamin Saving and Charity Loan Institute. Its range of activities to the public was expanded to police personnel.[2]
In 2004, following its successful and well managed risk to overtake the bankrupted Al-TAHA financial institute' debts and controlling the charity loan financial crisis in the Province of Isfahan, the Central Bank of Iran agreed to promote it to Bank in an step-by-step restructure.
Finally, in June 2012 Ghavanim was licensed as public bank. In FY 2012-2013, Ghavamin Bank, with revenues of over 1.6 billion US$ dollars, ranks among the twenty-four companies and the seventh largest bank in Iran.[3] While established in Tehran, the institution operates throughout the country with over 880 branches.
Awards
In 2012, Ghavamin Bank has been awarded the EU banking management award.[4]
