Our Journey

From our humble beginnings to becoming a global financial leader, explore the key milestones that have shaped Bancora International.

1995 - Foundation

Bancora International was founded in London by a team of visionary bankers with the goal of creating a truly global banking institution. Starting with just 15 employees, we opened our first office in the heart of London's financial district.

2003 - International Expansion

Following our success in the UK market, we expanded our operations to key financial centers across Europe and Asia, opening offices in Frankfurt, Singapore, and Hong Kong. This marked the beginning of our global presence.

2008 - Digital Transformation

During the global financial crisis, we invested heavily in digital infrastructure, launching our first online banking platform. This strategic move allowed us to maintain stability while many competitors struggled.

2015 - Global Expansion

We accelerated our international growth, establishing presence in the Americas and Middle East. By the end of the year, Bancora was operating in 25 countries with over 5,000 employees worldwide.
