About

The Alfa Financial Conglomerate started in 1925, with the Foundation of Banco da Lavoura de Minas Gerais. In 1972, Banco da Lavoura changed its name to Banco Real S / A and later created other financial companies that would constitute the Real Financial Conglomerate . In 1998, Banco Real S / A had its share control sold to ABN Amro Bank

Unsold financial companies (then Banco Real de Investimento, Real Financeira, Real Renda Mercantil and Corretora Real) formed the new Alfa Financial Conglomerate , with the creation of Banco Alfa (commercial bank).
