    History The founder of the Bank is the Bulgarian American Enterprise Fund (BAEF). BAEF is a private corporation established in the US. Initially, the Bank was granted a limited banking license by BNB. In 1998 the banking license was expanded. In April 2006, the controlling shareholder of the Bank at this moment - BAEF - sold around 30% from the capital of BACB through secondary public offering of shares executed on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange and the Bank received the status of a public company.
