Bank of American Samoa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bank of American Samoa no longer exists. In 1969 Bank of Hawaii (BOH) acquired the bank, which then had three branches. BOH amalgamated Bank of American Samoa and now operates two branches in Pago Pago, Tutuila.
In 1914 Governor C. D. Stearns established the bank in American Samoa,[1][2] with its headquarters at Pago Pago. On 25 July 1929, under the direction of Governor Stephen Victor Graham, the bank received a more solid legal foundation .[3]
