History


In 1985, Mostazafan Foundation established a financial and credit institution named "Bonyad" from its own assets. In 2007, the Foundation decided to establish a private bank for itself. To establish the bank, Mostazafan Foundation applied to the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran for permission to convert Bonyad Financial and Credit Institution into a bank. In 2008, the Central Bank of Iran agreed to convert Bonyad financial and credit institution into a bank. Since then, Bonyad Financial and Credit Institution started operating under the name Sina Bank. Mostazafan Foundation remains the largest shareholder of Sina Bank.
