[edit] History

Modern day NLB Montenegrobanka considers itself a successor to Crnogorska banka that was founded in 1905 and has operated since off and on in various forms.

In May 2003, Slovenian Nova ljubljanska banka purchased the 91.5% stake in Montenegrobanka from the Government of Montenegro for 11 million, and promptly renamed it NLB Montenegrobanka.

In mid 2005, Nova ljubljanska banka (NLB) bought 80.29% stake in another bank operating in Montenegro - Euromarket banka. On January 1, 2006, NLB merged it into its existing operation NLB Montenegrobanka, thus increasing its presence and market stake in Montenegro.
