EghtesadOnline: Bank Sepah, the oldest Iranian lender, has managed to lower its ratio of non-performing loans close to 10% and boost its capital adequacy ratio to over 11%, which are both better than the national average.

EghtesadOnline: Bank Sepah allocated $11.17 billion from the National Development Fund of Iran's foreign exchange resources to bankroll major national projects in the last Iranian year (ended March 20, 2017).

EghtesadOnline: Bank Sepah plans to establish branches in China and South Korea since Iran’s trade value is considerably high with these two countries, said an official with Bank Sepah, adding that they already have active branches in Rome, London and Paris.

EghtesadOnline: Bank Sepah, the oldest Iranian bank, has denied reports in the local media that its Frankfurt branch has been subject to a new round of sanctions, saying foreign exchange operations of the branch remain unhindered.
