History

For the first time, savings banks began their activity under Baku city branch of the State Bank of the Russian Empire. The Executive Manager of the branch was Ivan Samsonovich Khandojevsky.

After the proclamation of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, Azerbaijan State Bank opened on September 30, 1919, and the activity of savings banks was restored on December 1, 1919.

In 1988, these banks were merged into Azerbaijan Republican Bank of Savings Bank of the USSR. On February 11, 1992, Saving Bank of the Republic of Azerbaijan was formed on the basis of this Bank.
