History

On the Bosnian market, following the 1992 Bosnian independence referendum, the bank began operations in November 1992 during the Siege of Sarajevo under the name Market Banka d.d. Sarajevo.

In October 2000, Raiffeisen Bank International acquired Market Banka d.d. Sarajevo, and it became Raiffeisen Bank Bosna i Hercegovina d.d. Sarajevo (RZB BiH).[4]

In May 2001, Raiffeisen Bank merged with Hrvatska Poštanska banka Mostar d.d. to create Raiffeisen BANK HPB d.d. Mostar.

The bank has operated under its current name, Raiffeisen BANK d.d. Bosna i Hercegovina, since December 2002.
