The Bank of Tamil Eelam was founded in Jaffna in 1994 by the Sri Lankan separatist organization LTTE , but was relocated in 1995, to Kilinochchi after the Sri Lankan army retook the peninsula.[1] The Bank of Tamil Eelam had six branch offices and employed around 100 employees.[1] The Bank of Tamil Eelam was suspended on January 2, 2009, following the capture of Kilinochchi, which had been the administrative capital of self-proclaimed Tamil Eelam.[2]
