Founder share to bearer issued in Paris in 1889.

The bank was incorporated in 1889 as a French limited company, with its central administration in Europe and its business in Santo Domingo. It had the obligation to found branches in Santiago, Puerto-Plata, Monte-Cristy and Samana at the latest in the first year following its installation. The bank had the right to mint the national currency. (excerpt from the concession law).
