Azerbaijan’s AGBank, Bank Standard merging

Two Azerbaijani banks – the AGBank and Bank Standard have decided to merge.

A protocol of intention has been recently signed in this regards, AGBank said in a message Feb. 12.

A work group, consisting of representatives of both banks, has been also created in line with a tentative agreement.

The group will work on implementation of a merger project.

AGBank earlier came to an agreement on consolidation with Demirbank.

But after a while, Demirbank’s shareholders decided not to merge with AGBank, citing the inexpediency of such a step as a reason.

"Currently, the bank is not negotiating about merging with other banks,” DemirBank told Trend Feb. 11, adding there are no such plans for the near future.
