With €70.269 million in assets, 5.946 professionals, 2.7 million customers and a commercial structure made up by 919 branches spread all around the Spanish country and eleven countries of Europe and the Americas,[2] NCG Banco, S.A. is the head of one of the leading Spanish financial groups.

NCG Banco, S.A. operates as Novagalicia Banco in Galicia, Asturias and León and as EVO Banco in the rest of Spain.

The Singular Assets Management Unit closes the corporate structure, taking charge of distressed and non strategic assets, non-performing, substandard, repossessed assets and buildings for own use. And also, the wholesale business manages corporate banking, operations in financial markets and treasury management.[3]

Moreover, NCG Banco, S.A. takes part as a shareholder in more than 220 businesses,[4] through its industrial section NCG Corporación.

History

NCG Banco, S.A. comes from the banking entity Novacaixagalicia that came from the merger of the saving banks Caixa Galicia and Caixanova on December 1, 2010. The financial requirements, set out in the Royal Law decree 2/2011,[5] bring about the transformation of Novacaixagalicia into a bank as a way to enable its market capitalisation.[6]

NCG Banco, S.A. was born on September 14, 2011. In this new period, José María Castellano becomes the executive president of the entity and César González-Bueno Mayer[7] the chief executive officer. NCG Banco, S.A. appears as the first institution[8] in the financial history of Galicia that uses the Galician language for its foundational deed.[9]

On October 10, 2011, the Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring[10] (FROB II) bought 2.465 million in NCG Banco, a 93% stake.[11] The new funds were added to the €1.714 million provided by Novacaixagalicia, resulting a €4.180M total equity, €5.275M core capital and 10.45% risks weight assets (RWA), with 15.67% solvency rate.[12]

In October 19, 2011, NCG Banco, S.A. launched its new commercial brand Novagalicia Banco under the advertising slogan “A new bank with lifetime clients”.[13]

As of November 14, it started to work with two different commercial brands and two specialized business models:[14] Novagalicia Banco, in Galicia and the international market, and NGB, in the rest of Spain. This strategic turn encloses the creation of two new business areas: one specialized in the corporate banking; and another as a Singular Assets Management Unit, specialized in distressed and non strategic assets.

On January 12, 2012, 17 Galician investors took a stake in the bank, buying 2.59% in equity. Thereafter, bank shareholders are the Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring with a 90.57%, private investors with a 2,59% and Novacaixagalicia with a 6,84%.[15]

In March 12, NCG Banco, S.A. started to operate outside Galicia under the commercial brand EVO Banco.[16] During the first running-in four weeks it gained 8.920 customers and €70 million.

In March 22, NCG Banco, S.A. and its union representatives came to an agreement to avoid forced layoff. .[17]

July 12, 2012, NCG Banco, S.A. released an advertising campaign in media in which it apologizes to clients for past mistakes.[18]
