Montenegrin bank
Prva banka Crne Gore AD is a Montenegrin bank. Formerly known as Nikšićka banka AD, the bank was renamed in March 2007. Prva banka CG assumes continuity from a bank, existing under various forms of ownership, that was founded in 1901.
History
In 1901, Niksic Saving Bank became the first bank in Montenegro. Its name is derived from the city where it was founded. Beginning a more progressive society in the city was also driving business growth. The founding of the Montenegrin brewery "Onogost" in 1896, and the First Niksic Saving Bank in 1901, also meant the beginnings of industrial and banking capital. This was a key moment in the further development of Niksic industry and society.
The promoter of the First Niksic Saving Bank (originally called First Niksic Money Cooperative) was Joco Petrovic, a renowned finance expert. At the incorporation general meeting on 6 January 1901, an interim board of directors included traders, craftsmen, and aristocrats, voted in favour of a document titled "Saving Bank Rules".

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as montenegrin bank. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3511098. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007, 1901 and 1896.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
