Proton Bank (in Greek Proton Τράπεζα Α.Ε.) was a Greek bank that was established in 2001 and was taken over by the government in 2011. The bank offered private and corporate banking services.

The private banking division offers included deposits, loans and credit cards, portfolio management, asset management, brokerage services and mutual funds. The corporate banking division offered working capital financing, customer-tailored loans, treasury products and brokerage services.

In 2011 Proton became the first Greek bank to be effectively nationalized after it fell under a bank rescue fund set up by Greece and its international lenders through the creation of New Proton Bank. The bank was wound up in 2013.<^[2]
