This bank was established by John Macarthur in 1826 with William Henry Mackenzie as cashier after an exclusive subscription of 1000 £100 shares. In early years it was an aggressive competitor to the Bank of N.S.W. However, the bank failed during the banking crisis in 1843 because of heavy over-lending. (See MVR pp64-5.)
