One and a half years ago, following threats by civil rights groups to sue the bank over recruitment policies they deemed discriminatory, Fischer promised Arab Israeli MK Ahmad Tibi that he would open the bank's door to the Arab minority.

Fischer kept his promise and an Arab Israeli was employed in the research department, but the new recruit resigned soon after and left for the US to study.

The bank however recruited another Arab Israeli, this time in the accounting department.

Bank officials also said that more minority staff members would be recruited, adding that the bank will implement its decision.

Officials added that the bank advertised vacancies in Arab and Jewish media outlets.
