Naša AIK Banka (formerly Sberbank Srbija) was a Serbian bank based in Belgrade. The bank offered financial services to small and mid-sized businesses, entrepreneurs, and private individuals. It is now part of AIK Banka, following acquisition in 2022.

History

The bank was established in 1991, under the name "Asna banka".[3] In 26 June 1997, it changed its name to "Trust banka a.d.". In August 19, 2003, the Austrian Volksbank arrived at the Serbian market, by registering a subsidiary named "Volksbank Beograd". It had 92.96% of shares in the bank, along with 7.04% controlled by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).

In 2012, Sberbank acquired 100 percent of Volksbank International, and eventually it became owner of Volksbank Serbia.[4] The bank then changed its name to "Sberbank Srbija".

In November 2021, Serbian AIK Banka bought the majority of shares of Sberbank Srbija.[5] On 2 March 2022, few days after it gained approval from National Bank of Serbia to integrate with AIK Banka, the bank changed its name to "Naša AIK Banka".[6] Also, many banks in the region formerly owned by Sberbank changed ownership in days after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. On 1 December 2022, the bank finally merged into AIK Banka.[7]
