It was founded with a focus on foreign trade and with a deliberate Sephardic orientation so as to fill what Recanati perceived as a Sephardic void in the banking industry.[8] Discount was unique in that it was open to private customers, whereas most other banks in Palestine at the time catered to merchants and institutions.[9] Shortly after the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Ottoman Bank, one of five large foreign banks active at the time, was merged into Discount Bank.[10][11] Discount became Israel's second largest bank in 1952, with over 40 branches throughout the country.[12][13] It retained that position until the merger of Bank Hapoalim with the credit and saving funds of the Histadrut in 1957.[14][15] Discount opened its first commercial bank in the United States in 1962 in the form of Israel Discount Bank of New York, or IDB Bank.[16] In 1965 Discount Bank was still described as a "bastion of the veteran Sephardic establishment."[17] In 1952, the name of the bank was changed to Israel Discount Bank. Discount began establishing a presence in Florida in the late 1970s, at the time specializing in international banking. In 2002 it expanded its Florida-based operations to encompass domestic banking as well, after taking over part of the Hamilton Bank of Miami, which had been seized and closed by regulators.[18] ***************************************************************************************** **************************Please $5 S/H IN USA only.************** **************************************************Enjoy the auction!
