BOV Origins
Established in 1974, Bank of Valletta p.l.c. (BOV) has roots dating back to nineteenth century Malta when a group of prominent Maltese and British businessmen founded the Anglo-Maltese Bank. The merging of several well established banks in twentieth-century Malta led to the formation of the National Bank of Malta Group. When BOV took over the business of this Group, it inherited 180 years of experience, goodwill and prestige – a legacy it continues to nourish today.
