Moldavský úverný ústav, Moldava nad Bodvou
Moldavský úverný ústav (Moldova Credit Institute) was established in 1872 under the Hungarian name Abauj-szepsi takarékpénztár és zálogintézet (Savings Bank and Pawnbroker of the Abov and Spiš Regions).
The financial institution was authorised to provide universal banking services, to accept deposits, to discount bills or provide Lombard loans against them, to provide acceptance loans, loans secured by promissory notes and current account loans, to buy and sell securities, to trade in foreign currencies, and to buy and sell real estate.
In 1907, the net profit was 50,000 Austro-Hungarian crowns (K), deposits on savings books amounted to K 1 million, and accounts receivable totalled K 2 million. The bank had issued 2,000 shares with a nominal value of K 200 each giving it share capital of K 400,000. Between 1913 and 1915, the institution generated a net profit of K 75,000 with deposits of K 1.5 million and loans amounting to K 2.8 million.
The members of the board of directors and the supervisory board at that time were Július Géczy, Bódog Pollacsek, Martin Nagy, Gabriel Góts, Martin Szöken, Benö Pollner, Rezsö Szluka, Ján Vizdos, Gustáv Toth, Štefan Kádár, Karol Persenszky, Štefan Hahny, Vojtech Kovács, Bertalan Hedry, Lipót Wohl, Gabriel Barta, Eugen Fodor and Samuel Wohl. The accountant was Karol Soltész and the treasurer was Menyhért Radácsi.
The Moldova Credit Institute remained in business until 1926, when it entered liquidation.
Preserved archival material on the bank was stored in the corporate archives of Štátna banka československá (State Bank of Czechoslovakia) in Bratislava until 1965, when it was transferred to the corporate archives of Štátna banka československá at 2 Šrobárova Street in Košice by order of the Slovak Archives Administration. After 1990 the fonds was relocated to the Archives of Národná banka Slovenska at 27 Krajná Street in Bratislava and it was moved to the NBS archives building at 8 Cukrová Street in Bratislava in 2003. The inventory of the fonds was prepared in the archive of Štátna banka československá in 1967 and it was revised in the Archives of Národná banka Slovenska in 2016. The archival fonds consists of a single document – a report for a planned merger with Tatra Banka, Martin.
