History
The bank was built by Szana Zsigmond, a banker, businessman and philanthropist from Temesvár between 1921 and 1922. It was designed by the architect Krämer József Jr. It was once the site of the 14th-century Church of St. George, which was replaced by a mosque in Turkish times. On the site of the mosque, the Jesuits built a new church in the 18th century, which was demolished at the beginning of the 20th century. The Roman Catholic diocese planned to build a new complex on the site, which would have included two palaces and a church. This was thwarted by the outbreak of the First World War.
