Our Story

Founded in October 1922 in the heart of the City of London, Alpha Bank London Limited began as the Commercial Bank of the Near East - a pioneering institution that bridged continents and cultures. From Constantinople to Cairo, our early branches served as vital links between Greece, the Eastern Mediterranean, and the global financial community. It was banking with a sense of place, and a sense of possibility.

As the world changed, so did we. The 1950s brought geopolitical shifts that reshaped our footprint - but resilience has always been part of our story. In 1990, we re-emerged as the Commercial Bank of London, and soon after, joined the Alpha Bank Group - a name renowned for integrity, heritage, and forward-thinking finance.

Today, Alpha Bank London Limited operates as a fully independent entity within the Group, blending nearly a century of banking excellence with a modern, digital-first approach. We proudly serve clients across the UK and internationally, offering bespoke financial solutions with the agility of a digital bank - and the depth of experience that only history can provide.

It’s a story of evolution, enduring values, and a commitment to excellence that continues to shape our future.
