The World Bank Group (WBG) is a family of five international organizations that make leveraged loans to developing countries. It is the largest and best-known development bank in the world and an observer at the United Nations Development Group. The bank is headquartered in Washington, D.C. in the United States. It provided around $61 billion in loans and assistance to "developing" and transition countries in the 2014 fiscal year. The bank's stated mission is to achieve the twin goals of ending extreme poverty and building shared prosperity. Total lending as of 2015 for the last 10 years through Development Policy Financing was approximately $117 billion. Its five organizations are the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). The first two are sometimes collectively referred to as the World Bank.

The World Bank's (the IBRD's and IDA's) activities focus on developing countries, in fields such as human development (e.g. education, health), agriculture and rural development (e.g. irrigation and rural services), environmental protection (e.g. pollution reduction, establishing and enforcing regulations), infrastructure (e.g. roads, urban regeneration, and electricity), large industrial construction projects, and governance (e.g. anti-corruption, legal institutions development). The IBRD and IDA provide loans at preferential rates to member countries, as well as grants to the poorest countries. Loans or grants for specific projects are often linked to wider policy changes in the sector or the country's economy as a whole. For example, a loan to improve coastal environmental management may be linked to the development of new environmental institutions at national and local levels and the implementation of new regulations to limit pollution.

The World Bank has received various criticisms over the years and was tarnished by a scandal with its then President Paul Wolfowitz and his aide, Shaha Riza, in 2007.

Türk Ekonomi Bankası (TEB), (English: Turkish Economy Bank) is one of Turkey’s oldest financial institutions. In addition to providing its customers with corporate, SME, commercial, treasury & capital market, retail, and private banking products and services, TEB also supplies investment, leasing, factoring, and portfolio management financial services and products through its subsidiaries and group companies.

Originally established in the city of İzmit in 1927 as a privately-owned joint-stock company with the name Kocaeli Halk Bankası TAŞ, in 2005 TEB entered into a strategic partnership with BNP Paribas, a leading euro area banking group.

TEB was one of the first banks in Turkey to invest in mobile banking. The bank’s investments in this business line were centered around its CEPTETEB platform, a mobile application that introduced many innovations not just in the Turkish banking industry but throughout the world when it was released in 2008. Given a makeover in 2015, CEPTETEB became the primary mobile banking channel for TEB’s retail customers. In early 2020, TEB introduced CEPTETEB İŞTE (“CEPTETEB For Business”) , a version of the app specifically designed for its SME, corporate, and microbusiness banking customers. The rapidly-won success of CEPTETEB İŞTE earned the app an award in the “Mobile” category of the “Innovation in Digital Banking Awards” series organized by The Banker', an international financial affairs monthly owned by The Financial Times.

The first bank in Turkey to enter the private banking business line, TEB has been providing its high-net-worth customers with private banking and asset management products and services since 1989.

Having first entered the SME banking business line in 2005, in 2019 TEB overhauled its SME banking business model in order to better address the changing and increasingly more diversified requirements of SME customers through market segmentation focusing on such customers’ particular needs. Firms requiring specialized services for example are provided with bespoke services ranging from foreign trade to project finance and from derivatives trading to supplier financing. The bank’s digital service model was also revised both to make it easier for smaller businesses to take care of their day-to-day banking needs and to automate credit-allocation processes. Having entered the SME banking business line with the intention of acting as such customers’ financial adviser, TEB’s success has been recognized by the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group, which cited TEB as one of the world’s three best banks active in SME banking.

Another business line in which TEB is active is startup business banking.

TEB Corporate Banking focuses on providing large-scale national and international firms, corporate groups, and holding companies with high-added-value corporate banking products and services. In this business line, TEB supplies such customers with foreign trade finance, operating and investment loans, working capital and investment-financing loans, cash-management and risk-management products, standard and derivatives products, corporate investment banking products, and commodity financing and project financing services.

As of end-2019, TEB had about nine thousand employees on its payroll and was serving customers through extensive branch and ATM networks, its CEPTETEB and CEPTETEB İŞTE mobile apps, an online banking website, and a call center.

Three TEB subsidiaries offer services:

TEB Faktoring AŞ is one of the most active players in Turkey’s factoring industry and has been providing corporate and commercial firms as well as SMEs with export, import, and domestic factoring products and services since 1997.

TEB Portföy Yönetimi AŞ is an asset management company that has been in business since 1999.

TEB Yatırım Menkul Değerler AŞ, which commenced operations in 1996, is a brokerage house that carries out capital market transactions on behalf of customers in accordance with the requirements of Turkish capital market laws and regulations.

Michigan National Bank was a bank founded in Lansing, Michigan, which was established on 31 December 1940 when Howard J Stoddard consolidated six Michigan banks: First National Bank and Trust Company of Grand Rapids, First National Trust and Savings Bank of Port Huron, Lansing National Bank, City National Bank of Battle Creek, National Bank of Saginaw and First National Bank of Marshall. It purchased and absorbed the National Bank of Flint in 1942.

After Howard Stoddard died suddenly in 1971, his son Stanford "Bud" Stoddard took over. When Michigan banking laws were loosened allowing for bank holding companies, Stanford Stoddard founded Michigan National Corporation (MNC) in 1972, based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. This allowed co-owned but separately operated Michigan Bank N.A., located in Detroit, to be renamed Michigan National Bank of Detroit with MNC as its parent. By 1981, Michigan National had 27 affiliate banks.

In the early 1980s, Michigan National was caught up in the collapse of Penn Square Bank and Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company which forced the resignation of Stanford Stoddard in 1984. Robert J. Mylod became chairman and CEO of Michigan National in 1985, succeeding Edwin B. Jones. Mylod closed 140 of its 340 branches and shed half of its 700 ATMs. Loosened banking regulations in the late 1980s made MNC struggle to remain independent, but the loosened regulations allowed Michigan National to consolidate its banks into one bearing the Michigan National Bank name as the deregulation allowed for statewide branch banking in Michigan. In 1995, MNC was sold to National Australia Bank.

ABN AMRO announced on 22 November 2000, that it had signed a definitive agreement with National Australia Bank Ltd for the acquisition of MNC for US$2.75 billion in cash. At the time, it had total assets amounting to US$11.6 billion. MNC's primary subsidiary was Michigan National Bank with 3,600 employees, 184 branches and 332 ATMs. On 2 April 2001, MNC was acquired by ABN AMRO North America, Inc., the parent company of Troy, Michigan based Standard Federal Bank.

The merged company retained the Standard Federal name, but dropped Standard's federal savings bank charter in favor of Michigan National's national bank charter. The merger took effect from 9 October 2001. 59 overlapping branch offices were closed.[1] As a result of this merger, Standard Federal operated approximately 300 branches and 850 ATMs in the state of Michigan, more than any other financial institution in the state. It was the second-largest bank in Michigan as measured by assets.

ON 12 September 2005, ABN AMRO consolidated its U.S. commercial banking operations under the LaSalle Bank name. In 2007, ABN AMRO sold LaSalle to Bank of America, and the LaSalle branches became Bank of America branches on 5 May 2008. The former Michigan National branches in Flint, Port Huron and Saginaw were sold by Bank of America to Huntington National Bank in 2014.
