The Böhmische Industriebank (, lit. 'Czech Industrial Bank') was a Czech bank based in Prague, founded in 1898. By 1914, it was among the three largest banks in the Czech lands.[1] The bank came to an end in 1943 when it was merged with Živnostenská Banka.
Overview
The bank's creation in 1898 was supported by the Czech National Economic Society, with the aim of providing better credit conditions for industrial development in the country. It took over several local banks in the early 1920s. In 1943, it was forcibly merged into Živnostenská Banka under orders from the German occupation authorities.[2]
