History
The bank formally began operations in 2010 in Republika Srpska, although some business databases trace its corporate origins back to 2007 when the banking entity was first incorporated.
The bank was created out of the broader Mikrofin financial group. Mikrofin had already become one of the largest microcredit organizations in Bosnia after the post-war rebuilding period of the late 1990s and 2000s. MF banka was established so the group could expand from microfinance into full commercial banking services, including deposits, payment services, cards, and broader SME lending.
A significant milestone came in 2015 when Dutch development bank FMO and German development bank KfW acquired minority equity stakes in the bank. Their investment was intended to strengthen the bank’s capital base, governance standards, and SME lending capacity.[4]

MF banka (SWIFT code: MFBLBA22XXX) operates from the address "Aleja Svetog Save 61".[5]
