Alfa-Bank JSC[4] (Russian: Альфа-банк АО) is the largest of the private banks in Russia.[5] It was founded in 1990 by Russian businessman Mikhail Fridman, who remains the controlling owner. Headquartered in Moscow, it operates in seven countries, providing financial services to 22 million active corporate customers and over 1 million active retail clients as of 2021.[1] On 1 March 2022, Mikhail Fridman and Pyotr Aven left the bank's board of directors[6] after coming under EU sanctions imposed in response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. For the same reason, the bank has been sanctioned by US and EU authorities beginning in February 2022 and 2023, respectively.
