The Commercial Bank of Greece (Greek: Εμπορική Τράπεζα της Ελλάδας, thus also known as Emporiki Bank) was a bank established in London in 1907, with an initial focus on activity in Greece. In 1922, its operations expanded georgraphically through its affiliate the Commercial Bank of the Near East. Emporiki Bank in Greece was nationalized in 1975, and eventually purchased on 1 February 2013 by Alpha Bank which absorbed it into its network.
