History
Originally founded in 1888 in Amsterdam as the Nederlandsche Bank en Credietvereeniging voor Zuid-Afrika ("Dutch Bank and Credit Union for South Africa"). In 1903 the company was renamed into Nederlandsche Bank voor Zuid-Afrika ("Dutch Bank for South Africa"). In 1906, the bank expanded and opened an office in London. The bank expanded to South Africa in 1951, incorporating as the Nederlandse Bank in Suid-Afrika Beperk/Netherlands Bank of South Africa Limited. The amount of South African shareholders increased greatly, and in 1969 the company was 100 percent South African after the Bank Mees en Hope bought 20 percent of shares.
In 1992, the name of the bank was changed to Nedcor Bank Limited, of which Nedbank became the largest division. In 1992, Syfrets, UAL, and Nedbank Investment Bank merged to become Nedcor Investment Bank (NIB). Old Mutual, Nedcor's holding company, was demutualised and listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1999. It became a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. Nedbank acquired the Isle of Man and Jersey private banking business of Robert Fleming & Co. in 2001.
The new Nedcor Group was formed on 1 January 2003, combining Nedcor, BoE, Nedcor Investment Bank, and Cape of Good Hope Bank into one legal entity. The Nedcor Group was renamed the Nedbank Group on 6 May 2005. Nedbank headquarters are in Sandton, South Africa. In August 2009, Nedbank bought the remaining 49.9% of Imperial Bank South Africa, so Imperial Bank South Africa is now fully owned by Nedbank.[4]

HSBC Buyout Bid
On 23 August 2010, HSBC made an offer to buy up to 70% of Nedbank in a deal worth R49,9 billion (US$6.8 billion). If the deal had obtained South African government approval and gone through the buyout would have given HSBC a strong foothold in the African financial services sector.[6] On the 15th October 2010 HSBC withdrew its offer to Nedbank following the expiration of the agreed exclusivity period. If the deal had gone through it could have been worth an estimated R45 billion.[7]
