Glitnir Bank - Headquarters (Reykjavik)

Iceland / Hofudborgarsvaedi / Reykjavik

Glitnir was an Icelandic bank. It was created by the state-directed merger of the country's three privately held banks - Alþýðubanki (Union Bank), Verzlunarbanki (Bank of Commerce) and Iðnaðarbanki (Industrial Bank) - and one failing publicly held bank - Útvegsbanki (Fisheries Bank) - to form Íslandsbanki in 1990. At the time, Íslandsbanki was the only major privately held commercial bank in Iceland. It was publicly listed on the Iceland Stock Exchange, in 1993. Íslandsbanki subsequently merged with FBA Icelandic Investment Bank in 2000.
In February 2009, in light of the Icelandic financial crisis, the bank’s name was changed back to the original Íslandsbanki.
