History

Share of the Irving Bank-Columbia Trust Company, issued 12 March 1923

The bank had its origins in 1851, when the Irving Bank of the City of New York was founded. Since there was not yet a federal currency, each bank issued its own paper for use. The firm was named after Washington Irving, an author, diplomat, and lawyer who had gained an international reputation as America's first man of letters. His portrait appeared on the bank's notes.

In June 1865, it converted from a state bank to a bank chartered under the National Bank Act of 1863, and became the Irving National Bank of New York. In 1907, after a merger, it became the Irving National Exchange Bank of New York, changing its name to the Irving National Bank in 1912.[1] In 1918, it acquired, by merger, the Market and Fulton National Bank of New York, and in 1919, the Sherman National Bank of New York and the National City Bank of Brooklyn.[2] In 1922, it merged with the Columbia Trust Company, a New York State-chartered bank, creating the Irving Bank and Trust Company.[3][1] Later, in 1926, it acquired by merger the American Exchange-Pacific Bank, and changed its name to the American Exchange Irving Trust Company.[1][4] Finally, in 1929, it changed its name to the Irving Trust Company, the name under which it was known until 1989.

On March 9, 1921, there were four national banks in New York City operating branch offices, also including Chatham and Phenix National, the Mechanics and Metals National, the Irving National, and National City Bank.[5]

In 1922, Irving Trust opened an account with Vnesheconombank, now known as VEB, enabling the bank to conduct transactions with Russia and later the Soviet Union.[6]

In 1923, Irving Trust held correspondent accounts for the sovzagranbank (Russian: Совзагранбанк) Russo-Iranian Bank (RIB) also known a Rusiranbank (Russian: Русиранбанк).[7][a]

In 1929, Irving was New York's fourth ranked financial institution, and fifth in the United States.[3]

Irving Trust was an official sponsor of the 1980 Winter Olympic Games in Lake Placid, New York.

In 1983, the Irving Trust had 13 branches in New York and was primarily a wholesale bank working with mid- and large-sized corporations and banks. It also had offices around the world, allowing for their claim that the sun never set on the Irving.

In 1986, Natasha Kagalovsky (née Gurfinkel) became an employee as head of the department handling accounts with the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.[12][13]

Merged into Bank of New York

On October 7, 1988, the Irving Trust board signed an agreement to merge with Bank of New York ending a yearlong battle as Bank of New York engineered a hostile takeover. At the time of the merger, the combined banks became the United States' 12th largest bank with asset of $42 billion.[14] During that year, Irving had been trying to participate in a friendly merger with Banca Commerciale Italiana.[15]

Notes

  1. ^ The Russo-Iranian Bank (RIB) also known a Rusiranbank (Russian: Русиранбанк) was established as the Russo-Persian Banking Office for Credit and Payment Services for Trade Between Iran and the USSR and Assistance to the Development of Iranian Agriculture and Industry (Russian: Российско-персидское банковское управление по кредитным и платежным услугам для торговли между Ираном и СССР и содействие развитию сельского хозяйства и промышленности Ирана) in September 1923 in Teheran by Iranian merchants and the Russo-Asian Joint-stock Company (Russian: Русско-Азиатское Акционерное Общество) which was based in Moscow. It was formerly the Banque Russo-Persane also known as Ruspersbank (Russian: Русперсбанк). Following the 21 February 1921 coup of the pro-British Ahmad Shah Qajar by the pro-Moscow Reza Khan, the Russo-Persian Treaty of Friendship (1921) was signed on 26 February 1921 in Moscow. In 1923, the head of security service at RIB was the future Shah of Iran Reza Shah.[8][9] In February 1932, the Russo-Persian Banking Office for Credit and Payment Services for Trade Between Iran and the USSR and Assistance to the Development of Iranian Agriculture and Industry changed its name to Bank Russo-Iran (Rusiranbank). In 1934, RIB was one of the largest banks in Iran and had an extensive network of branches throughout Iran. In 1938, 40% of Iran's trade was with the Soviet Union and the Rusiranbank was pivotal. In 1954, Vneshtorgbank held an 84% stake and Gosbank held the remainder. Rusiranbank also had correspondent accounts with Deutsche Bank and Chase Manhattan.[7][10][11]
