History

365.bank was founded in 1992 as a digital bank. In 2021, 365.bank replaced its former parent company, Poštová banka, as head of the conglomerate, assuming control of Poštová banka's network of brick-and-mortar branches.

On May 15, 2025, KBC Group announced it would acquire the Slovak firm for €761 million; at the time, 365.bank was controlled by J&T Group. KBC said that the purchase and merger of 365.bank with its ČSOB would expand its footprint in Slovakia, as 365.bank had a 3.7% market share in December 2024.[6]

On January 15, 2026, KBC announced that it had completed the intended transaction for €708 million, resulting in the Bratislava-based bank being 98.45% controlled by KBC Bank NV.[7]
