Leumi Always
Bank Leumi was founded in London in 1902 as a
result of Dr. Theodor Herzl’s vision. Upon the es-
tablishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Bank
Leumi served as the central bank for the new
state and issued the country’s first banknotes.
Since then, Leumi has been instrumental to the
development of the State of Israel, playing a vital
role in a range of sectors - from national infra-
structure, agriculture, industry and real estate,
to commerce, academia, hi-tech and research.
The Leumi Group today operates some 250
branches throughout Israel, in addition to
branches and offices located in key financial
centers across the globe. Leumi provides a wide
spectrum of high quality banking services to all
types of customers, starting with households,
through small and middle-market businesses,
and up to large corporations. These services
are provided through specialized business
lines, suited to all customer segments, and are
backed up by the highest standards and uncom-
promised professionalism. The Bank provides
additional services through its subsidiaries:
‘Leumi Card’, the Bank’s credit card company;
‘Leumi Partners’, the Bank’s investment bank-
ing arm; and LeumiTech, the Bank’s high-tech
banking arm.
In recent years, Leumi has invested extensive
resources in developing and enhancing its tech-
nological capabilities in order to provide cus-
tomers with accessible and advanced banking
services. Today, ‘Leumi Digital’ leads the digital
banking field in Israel, with a wide variety of
innovative on-line banking services which are
carried out through various platforms, includ-
ing Leumi’s website, Leumi’s mobile apps and
