First Bank SA (former Piraeus Bank Romania) emerged as a result of the acquisition in April 2000 of Banca de Credit Pater from Budapest Bank (member of General Electric Capital Group) by Greek Piraeus Bank Group. In 2003 were made preparations for opening of several branches in the country. This period was also marked by the re- launching of treasury bonds operations. From December 2000 - Piraeus Group Romania established Piraeus Leasing, in 2006 - Piraeus Securities Romania SA and in October 2006 - Piraeus Insurance. 2010 was the year Piraeus Bank reached 10 years of banking in Romania. PBR has new HQ, which belongs entirely to the bank. 2012 represented a very important year due to the partnership with, the Romanian Olympic Committee, the Bank being the main sponsor of Romanian athletes for the 2012 Olympic Games from London. On June 28th, 2018, Piraeus Bank Romania was acquired by JCF IV Tiger Holdings Sarl, an entity which is part of the group JC Flowers & Co. And at the end of 2018, as part of a rebranding process, the company changed its name, becoming First Bank SA.
