The International Bank of Azerbaijan has introduced its renewed brand to the public. From now on, the Bank will continue its activities under its shortened name – “ABB” brand identity.
The decision on renewing the brand identity is the next step of purposeful transformation process that the financial institution has been conducting in recent years.

And now it is time to combine the Bank’s both past successes and strategic vision for the future under one name.
The new attributes of the brand are based on the 30 years of experience, traditions, and trust built by the ABB. Abbas Ibrahimov, the Chairman of the Management Board of ABB has stated: “We are strengthening our brand identity according to the market trends, the needs of our customers, and emerging new opportunities. The softening of the external sharp corners of the new logotype and the elimination of closed elements demonstrate dynamism and openness. Traditional network element supports the globalization of the brand and its large-scale activity.”
