History

The bank was built in 1902 according to the plans of Hubert József. Hubert József was the architect of the Austro-Hungarian Bank, and he planned buildings for 32 branches throughout the country. The Austro-Hungarian Bank was established in 1878 as the central bank of Austria-Hungary. In 1892 the bank gained right to issue the new currency, the crown, which was the common currency of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and was based on gold standard.
