== History ==
The sparebank was founded on April 7, 1862, to serve the [[prestegjeld]] of Grong which included [[Grong Municipality|Grong]], [[Harran Municipality|Harran]], [[Høylandet Municipality|Høylandet]], and [[Røyrvik Municipality|Røyrvik]].<ref name="Bjerken1950" /> By 1905, both [[Høylandet Municipality]] and [[Harran Municipality]] wanted to have separate banks, and the bank was split into three branches. In 1955, the bank created a separate branch in [[Røyrvik (village)|Røyrvik]] and [[Bergsmoen|Bergsmo]], the later being closed in 1997. The year 1975 saw the [[merger]] between Grong Sparebank and [[Lierne Sparebank]], though until 2000 there was a separate [[board of directors]] for the Lierne branch. In the 2000s, the bank expanded with a branch in [[Steinkjer (town)|Steinkjer]] and in 2006 it merged with the smallest bank in Norway, [[Verran Sparebank]] in [[Framverran]] in Mosvik.
