Priorbank (Belarusian: Адкрытае акцыянернае таварыства «Пріорбанк») is one of the largest commercial banks in Belarus.
History
[edit]It was established on the initiative of industrial circles such as MTZ, BelautoMAZ, MZH, MZVT, "Gorizont" and the city administration of Promstroibank.
In 1997, one of the main shareholders became the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which left the shareholders in 2008.
In 2003, 50% of the shares were acquired by the Austrian banking group Raiffeisen Bank International[1], later its share increased to 87.7%.
Since April 2023, the bank has been under Canadian sanctions[2].
