Bank of Crete (1898–1919)

The Bank of Crete (Greek: Τράπεζα Κρήτης) was a bank that functioned between 1898 and 1918.

Following the departure of the Ottoman forces in December 1898, the government of the autonomous Cretan State, under Eleftherios Venizelos, established the Bank of Crete (Banque du Crète) with the assistance of the National Bank of Greece and Hambros Brothers. In addition to the functions of commercial and mortgage banking, the bank received the exclusive privilege, for thirty years, of issuing banknotes in the island of Crete. The National Bank of Greece wholly acquired, and subsumed the Bank of Crete in 1919.
