About MaxBanka

MaxBanka, formerly known as InterBank, InterBanka, BAWAG Bank CZ, LBBW Bank CZ, and Expobank CZ, is a Czech bank with a history dating back to its founding in 1991. As of September 2022, MaxBanka is under the ownership of Banka CREDITAS, part of the CREDITAS group. Established in 1991 as a joint Swiss-Hungarian venture, initially named InterBank, the bank underwent several changes in ownership, stabilizing in 1997. In January 2014, Expobank, owned by entrepreneur Igor Kim, acquired LBBW Bank CZ, leading to subsequent name changes. MaxBanka has historically provided a range of financial services, including payment services and financing options for businesses. The bank has been known for offering competitive foreign currency conversion services. MaxBanka has shown a commitment to innovative technological solutions, being the first Czech bank to introduce open banking in 2018, allowing clients to manage accounts from other banks through their platform. Expobank CZ, prior to its acquisition and rebranding as MaxBanka, announced in October 2018 that it would offer cryptocurrency trading and investment services. Expansion into Serbia: In March 2017, Expobank CZ, a precursor to MaxBanka, entered the Serbian market by becoming the sole shareholder of Marfin Bank. In September 2022, the bank was acquired by Banka CREDITAS and subsequently rebranded as MaxBanka. The bank announced plans to transition into a purely online retail bank, indicating a shift in its strategic focus.
