SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge has a rich history that spans over 180 years. The bank's roots date back to 1836 when Tromsø Sparebank was founded.

Tromsø Sparebank was one of the first savings banks in the area, and it paved the way for many other savings banks to be established in Northern Norway. The mid-19th century saw a surge in the establishment of savings banks in the region.

In the 1960s and 1970s, there was a trend of merging local savings banks to form larger units. Tromsø Sparebank merged with nine other banks in Troms and Finnmark to form a larger bank.

This trend of consolidation continued, and by the 1980s, many local savings banks had merged to form larger banks. Sparebanken Nord was formed in 1988 after the merger of Tromsø Sparebank and Sparebanken Nord.

The bank crisis of 1988 forced the merger of Tromsø Sparebank and Sparebanken Nord to form Sparebanken Nord-Norge. This marked a significant turning point in the bank's history.

In the following years, the bank continued to grow and expand, with Nordkapp Sparebank and Sparebanken Nordland joining the bank in 1991 and 1992, respectively.

Here's a brief timeline of the bank's mergers:
