In 1973, Privredna banka became Vojvođanska banka, the largest banking institution in the province of Vojvodina and one of the largest in the country. It had 16 branches.

In the end of the 1970s, Bank opened three independent representative offices in New York City, London and Frankfurt; and joint representative offices established in Moscow, Beijing and Tehran.

In the 1980s, Vojvođanska Bank became a member of the Yugoslav Banking Consortium for the realization of the first loan granted by IFC for the development of small companies; and Associate Bank realized 70% of the total foreign exchange operations of Vojvodina economy. In 1989, the Bank split up into 9 equal successors; the Head Office and 8 branches.

Later, during the 1990s, Bank started to open more branches in Central Serbia, Banja Luka (in Republika Srpska) and in Podgorica (Montenegro). The branch office in Banja Luka became an independent bank with the major equity share in private ownership. Vojvodjanska banka was the co-founder and shareholder of VB Banja Luka.
