Slavia Pojistovna or Slavia Insurance Company is closely connected with the beginnings of the insurance industry in Bohemia, and its history began as early as 1868 during the reign of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy.
It continued the successful tradition of one of the oldest and most important financial institutions – Mutual, capital and pension insurance bank Slavia.
Among the most important personalities of Bank Slavia is its creator and founder, lawyer F. L. Chleborad, who won the "Father of the Fatherland" Frantisek Palacky and other outstanding representatives of the Czech nation for his idea.

The symbolic name Slavia, personifying the ideal of Slavic reciprocity and togetherness, opened the bank's access to all oppressed countries in the former monarchy.
The growth of Slavia's business was particularly intense between 1924 and 1929, when the insurance company had a capital share in a total of 11 insurance institutions, eight of which were in Czechoslovakia and three abroad.
The most important founding act abroad was Slavia's participation in the Lion insurance company in New York, USA, in March 1928.

The insurance company's activities were forcibly interrupted after its nationalization in 1945, when the natural development of the entire insurance industry in the former Czechoslovakia was stopped for several decades.
This period lasted until the nineties of the last century, when competing insurance companies were again allowed to operate and the monopoly of Ceska Pojistovna ended (Slavia-Pojistovna).
