Humenská obchodná a priemyselná banka, Humenné
Humenská obchodná a priemyselná banka, účastinná spoločnosť (Humenné Commerce and Industrial Bank, joint-stock company), Humenné, was founded under the name Homonnai kereskedelmi és iparbank, r. t. in 1903. It had share capital of 200,000 Austro-Hungarian crowns (K) in the form of a thousand shares with a nominal value of K 200.
The company offered universal banking services including taking deposits, arranging loans, the sale and purchase of real estate and the recovery of various receivables. It was one of the less capitalised credit institutions. In 1907, it reported a net profit of K 27,000, deposits on savings books of around K 1.5 million and loans of K 1.5 million. The overall turnover was K 4.3 million. The members of the administrative and supervisory boards included Ervin Moskovics, Áron Herskovits, Mór Markovits, Hugo Oestereicher, Ludevít Perzsenszky and Jakub Fejes amongst others. The chief accountant was Dezider Havas and the treasurer was Jakub Károlyi.
The bank remained in business until 1925, when a moratorium was imposed, and it was finally deleted from the companies register in 1928.
The bank’s surviving documents were kept in the archives of Štátna banka československá (State Bank of Czechoslovakia) in Bratislava until 1965, when they were transferred to Štátna banka československá’s corporate archives at 2 Šrobárova Street in Košice by order of the Slovak Archives Administration. In 1995 the fonds was transferred to the archives of Národná banka Slovenska at 27 Krajná Street in Bratislava and in 2003 it was moved to the Národná banka Slovenska archives building at 8 Cukrová Street in Bratislava. An inventory was made in 1967 and revised in 2015 in the archives of Národná banka Slovenska.
