description

After a failed attempt between 1921 and 1924 to create a new bank in Yugoslavia with offices in Belgrade, Zagreb and Sarajevo, Banca Commerciale Italiana established a presence in Croatia at the end of 1927 by acquiring a majority stake in a small banking institution in Zagreb, Hrvatska Banka (meaning "Croatian bank"), which had been founded by the Germans in 1911.
Although the bank was never loss-making, it failed to achieve significant economic results in part due to the volatile political situation in Yugoslavia, which was influenced in turn by heavy Croat opposition. The Zagreb institution was the only Italian bank with a presence in Croatia in the period between the two World Wars.
