After World War II and the establishment of the Federal People's Republic of Yugoslavia in 1955, the bank resumed its activities under the name Komunalna banka. In 1970, the bank was merged with the state-owned Jugobanka. In July 1991, the bank began operating independently within the Jugobanka system as Jugobanka Jubanka a.d.. Kragujevac. In June 2001, the Council of the bank decided to change its name, adopting the name Credy banka. In 2013 Credy banka changed its name to KBM Banka a.d. Kragujevac. In 2016, KBM Banka was bought from Slovenian bank Nova KBM d.d. and changed its name to Direktna Banka a.d.. In 2021, Greek Eurobank a.d. and Direktna Banka agreed to merge. The bank ceased operations and from December 13, 2021 was merged with the Serbian branch of Eurobank, forming Eurobank Direktna.
