''URSA Bank'' was founded in 1990 as ''Sibakadembank'' by the Siberian Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It was restructured from a privately held bank to a joint-stock bank in 1997. After a series of mergers with local Siberian banks, in 2006 Sibakadembank merged with Yekaterinburg-based Uralvneshtorgbank (established 1991) and assumed the new name, URSA Bank.<ref>{{Cite web |title=МДМ-банк и УРСА-банк объявили о завершении слияния |url=https://www.rbc.ru/economics/07/08/2009/5703d59f9a7947733180a27f |access-date=2022-07-12 |website=РБК |language=ru}}</ref>
