In 1994, one of the leading Greek private financial groups - Alpha Bank Group - along with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and the Greek firms Bauxite AEM Parnassos, Papastratos ABES and Greek Bottling Company (3E) were laying the bases of Alpha Bank in Romania, under the brand name of "Banca Bucuresti". It was the first foreign banking investment within a yet unconfigured economic environment, marked by unpredictable evolutions and by moments of economic decline. On this background, Alpha Bank came with the experience of more than 115 years of banking services and the ability to devise new strategies, enabling it to work even in difficult moments. At the beginning of 2000, "Banca Bucuresti" was renamed Alpha Bank Romania in order to underline the membership to the Group and in 2005 Alpha Bank AE became majority shareholder. The Bank offers a wide range of financial-banking services and products, both for individuals and for corporate sector, by means of a well-balanced network of units situated in Bucharest and in all major cities of the country.

Consequently, Banca Romaneasca was the first Romanian bank insured by BBB, computer crime and D&O policies.
In 1999, the Romanian American Enterprise Fund took over the majority stake, the Bank setting up very good partnerships with the financial institutions for providing support to the Romanian enterprises. In October 2003, the National Bank of Greece acquired an 81.65% stake of Banca Romaneasca from the Romanian American Enterprise Fund, thus becoming the main shareholder. The incorporation of the bank in the NBG Group represented one of the most significant stages in the history of Banca Romaneasca and guaranteed the Bank's prominent market position and long-term strategic development. Banca Romaneasca has constantly improved its range of products and services in order to develop its activity, to attract new clients and to make loyal the existing ones through promotion campaigns and competitive products.

The policy of the bank is to enhance the distribution channels of the services and products and to permanently improve its activity, maintaining in the same time a prudent approach in terms of risk. It goes without saying that no matter how good the performance of Banca Romaneasca was, its prospects have been greatly enhanced after the acquisition by the National Bank of Greece, since its major shareholder is a strong financial group which can and will secure the bank's further development.

This is how the first Bank Populaire was born. Subsequently, other community based savings and credit schemes were established in other areas of Rwanda becoming various autonomous "Banques populaires." In 1986, as these autonomous savings and credit schemes grew bigger and stronger, an umbrella bringing them together was put in place, with its headquarters in Kigali, under the name "Union des Banques Populaires du Rwanda (UBPR). These entities were tied together as cooperatives mainly to serve their members. 33 years along the road, the experience gained in providing financial services to the people, the growth that had been realized, but also the potential for growth that was inhibited by being a cooperative, called for upgrading. In 2008, UBPR transformed to become a commercial bank but while retaining its cooperative roots. 65% of the shares were retained by the former cooperative members, while 35% were acquired by a strategic partner, Rabobank. The latter having the main mission to help upgrade "BPR” into a fully-fledged retail bank.

Consequently, Banca Romaneasca was the first Romanian bank insured by BBB, computer crime and D&O policies.

3. Banque Populaire du Rwanda -
BPR finds its origin back in 1975, when the people of Nkamba, a village in the current Eastern province felt the need to have a savings and credit scheme, to help them grow financially and achieve better livelihoods. This is how the first Bank Populaire was born. Subsequently, other community based savings and credit schemes were established in other areas of Rwanda becoming various autonomous "Banques populaires." In 1986, as these autonomous savings and credit schemes grew bigger and stronger, an umbrella bringing them together was put in place, with its headquarters in Kigali, under the name "Union des Banques Populaires du Rwanda (UBPR). These entities were tied together as cooperatives mainly to serve their members. 33 years along the road, the experience gained in providing financial services to the people, the growth that had been realized, but also the potential for growth that was inhibited by being a cooperative, called for upgrading. In 2008, UBPR transformed to become a commercial bank but while retaining its cooperative roots. 65% of the shares were retained by the former cooperative members, while 35% were acquired by a strategic partner, Rabobank. The latter having the main mission to help upgrade "BPR” into a fully-fledged retail bank.
