Birlikbank's licence was granted on June 30, 1993 under number 154 and withdrawn by the decision of the Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA) in January 2011.
According to the CBA, the grounds for revocation of the licence were a violation of articles 16.1.8, 16.1.9 and 16.1.18 of the Law on Banks.
The licence of the bank is withdrawn when the activities of the bank are carried out without compliance with prudential regulations and rules of safety, which in this case led to the deteriorating of the financial situation at Birlikbank. Despite the fact that the CBA has officially notified the bank of violating the requirements of legislation and various regulations, they have not been complied with instructions on how to improve the financial position, resulting in its lack of ability to pay.
The report of the Central Bank also pointed out that the licence was revoked due to the absence of the bank's capacity to perform liabilities to the banking sector and public authorities, finding the quality of its assets and the level of control at unacceptable levels.
