Bank of Queensland (1917–1922)

[1] The National Bank was not well represented in Queensland and, intending to expand itself into a truly national institution, bought the Bank of Queensland for cash on 9 January 1922 "for a price corresponding with the actual assets of £520,000".

[2] A Bank of Queensland had been established in London[3] and opened for business in Brisbane on 13 August 1863 in the renovated premises of the former Joint Stock Bank.

[4] Caught by the fall-out from the July 1866 collapse of the major London discount house Overend, Gurney and Company, the shareholders agreed at the end of 1866 to voluntarily wind the bank up.

[5] The Bank of Queensland's name has since been revived by a different institution.
