History
Bank of Syria and Overseas began operating in January 2004 as one of the first private banks in Syria in decades, with backing from Lebanese banking partners.
Business model
The bank provides retail and corporate banking, trade finance, and payment services, and its shares trade on the Damascus Securities Exchange.
Market position
Bank of Syria and Overseas is one of the larger private banks in Syria.
Country impact
Like other private Syrian banks, it operated for years under severe sanctions and a collapsing currency, and its ties to Lebanon's banking sector exposed it to Lebanon's own financial crisis after 2019.
