History[edit]

Zepter komerc banka a.d. Banja Luka[edit]

On 1 March 1999, Zepter komerc banka a.d. Banja Luka was founded in Banja Luka.[2]

Volksbank a.d. Banja Luka[edit]

In July 2007, Austrian banking group Volksbank International[6] paid KM 82.1 million BAM for the purchase of the shares of Zepter Komerc Banka[7] from Banja Luka and officially became its owner.

Bank continued to operate within the international Volksbank group under the new name Volksbank a.d. Banja Luka (with sister company Volksbank BH d.d. Sarajevo).

In 2012, Sberbank Europe Group from Russia[8] completed its acquisition of 100 percent of Volksbank International AG (VBI), the umbrella institution that owned Volksbank d.d. BH in Sarajevo and Volksbank a.d. in Banja Luka.

Sberbank a.d. Banja Luka[edit]

At the beginning of 2013, Volksbank banks in Bosnia and Herzegovina were given the new name "Sberbank" - so former Austrian banks became Russian-owned banks in BiH and received new corporate names:

  • Sberbank a.d. Banja Luka [9]- operated until 2022 (purchased by Nova Banka; now operates as ATOS BANK) and
  • Sberbank BH d.d. Sarajevo[10], which also operated until 2022 (it was bought by the Bosnian ASA Banka).

When Russia's largest lender Sberbank announced on February 2, 2022 that it was exiting almost all European markets[11], blaming a large outflow of cash and threats to its staff and assets following Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Western sanctions that followed, according to media reports[12], it was stated that the operation of Sberbank a.d. Banja Luka was also threatened[13] due War in Ukraine.

Banking Agency of Republika Srpska (ABRS) on 2 March 2022 has announced that the purchase of Sberbank a.d. Banja Luka in RS has been completed by local Nova Banka, owned by the company MG Mind from Mrkonjić Grad, and current name ATOS BANK was presented on 23 May 2022.
