History
Verran Sparebank was founded in 1907 to serve as a local bank for the municipalities of Verran and Mosvik. Already in 1909 the bank got its first female chairman. The bank was a member of the Terra bank alliance, and was one of four savings banks in the county of Nord-Trøndelag to remain independent. The others joined the regional Sparebanken Midt-Norge. Because Grong Sparebank, Verran Sparebank's merger partner, was one of the other independent savings banks, that number of independent savings banks is currently reduced to three.
At the time of merger, Verran Sparebank was the smallest independent bank in Norway.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
“The greatest honor history can bestow is that of peacemaker.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
“A people without history
Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
