CELEBRATING 30 YEARS IN SLOVAKIA

2021 marks 30 years since UniCredit Bank commenced operations in Slovakia. Its predecessor, the Slovak Agricultural Bank, was established at on 26 June 1990. Four years later, the bank was renamed Poľnobanka; and in 2000, UniCredito Italiano became majority shareholder. Two years later, Poľnobanka was rebranded as UniBanka, which also meant transforming a bank focused on the agricultural sector into a financial institution.

In 2007, UniBanka and HVB Bank Slovakia merged, resulting in a much larger universal bank with a new name UniCredit Bank Slovakia, which then merged with UniCredit Czech Republic to become UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia, a banking institution that operates in both Slovak and Czech markets as the largest bank in terms of capital and volume of assets.

The bank represents one of the leaders in Slovak corporate banking, having taken part in major local and international transactions and international business financing, while maintaining its strong position in agribusiness. The bank has always maintained a strong position in both private and retail banking segments, as recognised by numerous local and international awards.
