The Gazprombank ( Russian Газпромбанк ) is one of the major banks in Russia and has its headquarters in Moscow. It was founded in 1990 by the Russian energy company Gazprom as a subsidiary, but is no longer majority owned by it. The business areas include private and corporate customers, investment banking, securities trading and trading in foreign exchange and precious metals. In addition to pure banking, Gazprombank is also one of the largest media groups in Russia through its subsidiary Gazprom-Media . The bank also owns OMZ, a heavy industry company that produces equipment for mining, petrochemicals and nuclear power plants. The legal form of the bank has been an open joint stock company since 2007, known in Russia as OAO ( Открытое акционерное общество ) or in international use as OJSC (Open Joint Stock Company). The bank has 12,700 employees and the CEO is Alexei Miller . The largest shareholders are the pension fund "GAZFOND" (49 percent), Gazprom (35 percent) and the Wneschekonombank (10 percent). As a result, Gazprombank is indirectly largely owned by the Russian state.

In the course of the 2014 crisis in Ukraine , the US and the EU imposed sanctions on Gazprombank in July 2014. At the end of the same year, Gazprombank received state aid worth the equivalent of 560 million euros .
