BLOM BANK (Arabic: بنك لبنان والمهجر, French: Banque du Liban et D’Outre Mer, lit. 'Bank of Lebanon and Overseas') is a Lebanese bank established in 1951 and headquartered in Beirut. Providing banking services such as "commercial, corporate, private, investment, retail, Islamic banking, asset and wealth management, capital market services, and insurance products," BLOM Bank is one of Lebanon's largest banks and has its shares listed on the Beirut Stock Exchange and the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. BLOM BANK started operating in 1951 in Beirut. Its establishment coincided with a booming period in the banking sector in Lebanon. One of the founders was Hussein Al Oweini, a Lebanese politician and businessman. By 1953, BLOM BANK started expanding and opened a branch in Jeddah, KSA. As the Lebanese Civil War broke out, BLOM BANK’s operations abroad increased to cater for the needs of the Lebanese diaspora. Today, the group is present in 11 countries across the world. On the leadership level, the Syrian banker, Naaman Azhari, became the general manager of the bank in 1962 and chairman of the board and general manager in 1971. In 2007, Dr. Naaman Azhari was appointed chairman of BLOM BANK Group, and honorary chairman of BLOM BANK Group in 2020, while his son, Saad Azhari, became chairman of the board and general manager of BLOM BANK.
