Royal Bank Of Queensland

The Royal Bank of Queensland was a bank in Queensland, Australia.

History

The Royal Bank of Queensland commenced operation in Brisbane in February 1886.

In 1917 it merged with the Bank of North Queensland creating the Bank of Queensland (1917—1922), Bank of Queensland. In 1922 the Bank of Queensland merged with the National Bank of Australasia.

Head Office

The early head office was built in 1891 at 180 Queen Street, but this building was replaced in 1929-30 by the successor company, and the replacement is a heritage-listed building of the (now) National Australia Bank.
