History[edit]

In SR Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the parent bank, Privredna banka Sarajevo made a system of local banks and branches mainly in the larger BiH cities.

For Bijeljina, predecessor of Naša Banka was Privredna banka Sarajevo - Filijala Bijeljina founded in 1974.

In 1992, after Bosnia and Herzegovina independence referendum, PBS from Sarajevo was forced to stop operations due to the war in Bosnia, so the local authorities founded a new bank Semberska banka a.d. Bijeljina.

Later, bank was privatised by a Bosnian Serb businessman Slobodan Pavlović and renamed to Pavlović Internacional Banka a.d. Bijeljina[7] from Slobomir.

Pavlović International Banka[edit]

After the collapse and closure of Bobar banka and Banka Srpske, according to media reports, it was stated that the operation of Pavlović International Banka was also threatened.

Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik in 2022 repeated his denial of allegations that he received a fictitious loan from a friendly bank[8] to buy a pricey villa, after being grilled by Prosecutor's Office of BiH. The case dates back to 2016, when it was alleged that the "Pavlović International Banka" had extended to Dodik a fake mortgage to enable the property purchase, in order to hide the real origin of the money.
