  • Domestically Owned Versus Foreign-Owned Banks in Israel
    Domestic bank intermediation: domestically owned versus foreign-owned banks in Israel David Marzuk1 1. The Israeli banking system – an overview A. The structure of the banking system and its scope of activity Israel has a highly developed banking system. At the end of June 2009, there were 23 banking corporations registered in Israel, including 14 commercial banks, two mortgage banks, two joint-service companies and five foreign banks. Despite the spate of financial deregulation in recent years, the Israeli banking sector still plays a key role in the country’s financial system and overall economy. It is also highly concentrated – the five main banking groups (Bank Hapoalim, Bank Leumi, First International Bank, Israel Discount Bank and Mizrahi-Tefahot Bank) together accounted for 94.3% of total assets as of June 2009. The two largest groups (Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim) accounted for almost 56.8% of total assets. The sector as a whole and the large banking groups in particular are organised around the concept of “universal” banking, in which commercial banks offer a full range of retail and corporate banking services. Those services include: mortgages, leasing and other forms of finance; brokerage in the local and foreign capital markets; underwriting and investment banking; and numerous specialised services. Furthermore, until the mid-1990s, the banking groups were deeply involved in non-financial activities. However, a law passed in 1996 forced the banks to divest their controlling stakes in non-financial companies and conglomerates (including insurance companies). This development was part of a privatisation process which was almost completed in 2005 (with the important exception of Bank Leumi).

  • A Description and Analysis of the Implementation of the Concentration Law and Its Economic
    A Description and Analysis of the Implementation of the Concentration Law and Its Economic Impact on the Israeli Economy Written by: Noam Botosh, Economist | Approved by: Ami Tzadik, Head of the Budgetary Control Department Date: February 25rd 2020 Economic Review www.knesset.gov.il/mmm Knesset Research and Information Center 1 | A Description and Analysis of the Implementation of the Concentration Law and Its Economic Impact on the Israeli Economy Summary This review was written at the request of MK Ofer Shelah, and it addresses the implementation of the Law for Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Concentration, 5774-2013 (herein, "the Concentration Law" or "the Law") and provides a preliminary analysis of the Law's impact on the Israeli economy. A Bank of Israel study from 2009 about business groups showed that, compared to other developed countries, the level of concentration in Israel is high, as reflected in the number of existing business groups, and that these groups possess high levels of financial leverage. The study suggested that this structure of business groups may constitute a risk to Israel's financial stability due to the groups' size and complexity. In October 2010, the Committee on Increasing Competitiveness in the Economy was established in order to examine general market competitiveness in Israel—mainly due to the existence of large business groups— and to recommend possible policy tools to promote market competitiveness. According to the committee's interim report, which was published in October 2011, the ownership structure of public companies in Israel is centralized, and the committee identified a phenomenon of large business groups controlling a large share of real and financial assets.

    Bank Hapoalim B.M., Tel-Aviv, Israel 2013 Resolution Plan – Public Section I. Executive summary – 12 C.F.R. §§ 243.8(c), 381.8(c) Bank Hapoalim is a publicly held banking corporation organized and operating under Israeli law, and subject to comprehensive supervision by the Bank of Israel. With total assets of over $100 billion,1 it is one of the largest banking groups in Israel, and conducts a variety of banking, financial and non- banking activities through over 250 offices in Israel and in more than a dozen other countries. In the United States, Bank Hapoalim owns (through PCM-HSU, a Delaware-incorporated holding company) HSUSA, a Delaware-incorporated SEC-registered broker-dealer that has offices in New York, California, and Florida. Bank Hapoalim also operates a New York state-licensed FDIC-insured branch, two New York state-licensed uninsured branches, a Florida state-licensed uninsured branch, and a California state-licensed representative office which began operations on December 16, 2013. These US operations have combined assets of approximately $9 billion. Despite the relatively limited size of its US operations, Bank Hapoalim is subject to US resolution planning requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act because it has consolidated assets on a global basis of over $50 billion. However, although it is therefore classified as a foreign-based covered company subject to these requirements, Bank Hapoalim is eligible to file an abbreviated or “tailored” resolution plan by virtue of the size and structure of its US operations. In addition to being able to file a tailored plan, Bank Hapoalim also has determined, consistent with the Regulations and applicable guidance, that it has no critical operations, core business lines, or material entities that are located in the United States or conducted in whole or material part in the United States.

  • The Sale of Israel's Major Credit Card Companies Is Underway
    February. 2017 The sale of Israel’s major credit card companies is underway. Israel’s two largest banks, Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim, are now officially compelled to divest their credit card businesses - Leumi Card and Isracard – and the engines are warming up on these sales. Last week, on January 23rd 2017, the Israeli parliament passed the “Strum Law”1, obligating Israel’s two largest banks, Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim, to divest their credit card businesses, namely Leumi Card (80% held by Leumi) and Isracard (99.5% held by Hapoalim). These two payment card companies are the largest players in the Israeli payment card market and dominate approx. 76% of the payment card market in Israel (Isracard circa 50% and Leumi Card circa 26%). According to the Strum Law, in order to enhance competition, large Israeli financial and non-financial institutions and corporations are prohibited from purchasing these payment card companies, which in turn promotes and encourages the entrance of foreign players such as PE funds and foreign financial participants (until now prohibited from doing so) to compete for the acquisition of such businesses. Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim are each required to divest their credit card companies within three years. An additional year is granted if at the end of three years, the credit card company is taken public with a free float of 25% in public hands, and no more than 40% remains held by the bank. Following the sale, Leumi and Hapoalim will be prohibited from engaging in merchant acquiring (clearing) transactions and from providing credit cards issuance processing (but will be allowed to offer and issue credit cards to their clients, set the rate of card issuance and usage fees and provide credit card holders with credit).
