AS Latvian Industrial Bank (Latvian: Akciju sabiedrība «Latvijas Industriālā banka»), also known as "Lainbanka," was a Latvian bank.
History
The bank was founded on December 17, 1991. The banks founders were Vilis Dambiņš, Valts Vīgants and Dzintars Pelcbergs.[1]
In 1995, the Russian Embassy in Latvia sued Lainbanka in the Riga Regional Court, demanding the recovery of 2.9 million lats. The suit ended on February 9, 1998, with a settlement.[2]
Sponsorship
In 1993, Lainbanka became a sponsor of the basketball club BK Barons (at the time called Princips). That year, the club was renamed "LainERS," in honor of the bank.[3]
