The Hellenic Bankers Association – UK was founded in 1994 to promote a closer co-operation among Greek and Cypriot Bankers and finance professionals based in London. Currently, HBA has approximately 300 members in the City of London, a membership which has been the most pristine reflection of professionalism, model corporate citizenship and hard work ethics.
The Association, which constitutes the most important communications and networking platform for the Greeks of the financial and banking sector in the financial capital of Europe, is seeking to actively participate in transnational economic and business activities and to be on the front line of the developments on issues related not only to the industry internationally but also to the Greek economy and entrepreneurship.
HBA’s steady growth and successful activity showcases its pivotal role as an attracting point and interconnection carrier between the London financial centre and the Greek political, economic and business community.
In recent years, the Association’s successful official events have hosted leading business, economic and political personalities from the United Kingdom and Greece, for matters mainly concerning the Greek economy, among which Petros Doukas, Spyros Capralos, Philippos Kosteletos, Andreas Vgenopoulos, Takis Arapoglou, George Alogoskoufis, Nikos Christodoulakis, Stefanos Manos, Apostolos Tamvakakis, George Papakonstantinou and Yannis Stournaras.
