Westminster Bank

Westminster Bank was a British retail bank which operated in England and Wales from 1834 until its merger into the National Westminster Bank in 1970; it remains a registered company but is dormant. Considered one of the Big Five, it expanded during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and took over a number of smaller banking companies.

Famous quotes containing the word bank:

    “A bank is a confidence trick. If you put up the right signs, the wizards of finance themselves will come in and ask you to take their money.”
    —Christina Stead (1902–1983)
