Banco de Londres y Río de la Plata (in English, Bank of London and Río de la Plata) was a British financial institution, which operated in Buenos Aires from 1862 to 1923.[1]

History

The financial company Banco de Londres, Buenos Ayres y Río de la Plata was formed with English capitals in 1862.[2] Its Board of directors was composed of G. W. Drabble, president, E. R. Duffield, managing director, and C. Hemery, as assistant manager.[3] In Buenos Aires the board was chaired by Robert Thurburn and Thomas Hogg, who remained in their positions until about 1900.[4]

The banking establishment was located on the corner of Piedad and Calle Reconquista, neighborhood of San Nicolás.[5]

This bank came to have branches in Córdoba Province and Rosario, Santa Fe, and also operated in Montevideo, Uruguay.[6] In 1918, the Banco de Londres y Río de la Plata was acquired by Lloyds Bank.[7]
