    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. On August 29, 2008, after obtaining the required approvals from the authorities in Bulgaria and Ireland, Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c., (AIB) acquired 49.99% of the voting stock of BACB and the participation of BAEF was accordingly decreased to 3.89%. On July 17, 2011, Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c. sold its 6,311,100 shares, representing 49.99% from the registered capital of BACB, to CSIF AD (www.csif.bg), a Bulgarian private investment company, after receiving the necessary approvals from Bulgarian authorities.
