It was registered in London as a limited liability company in March 1894 and the first Lagos branches were opened in major West African cities. Accra, Freetown Bathurst. The bank opened its second Nigerian branch in old Calabar in 1900. Another bank called the Anglo African bank was eatable led in old Calabar by the Royal Nigeria Company (Now U. A. C) to complete with BBWA. The bank later changed its name to banks of Nigeria and established branches in Burutu, Lokoja and Jebba.

The foreign banks came principally to render services in connection with international trade so their relationships at that time were chiefly the expatriate. They largely ignored the development of local African entrepreneurship together, there three-bank deposit. From 1914 to early 1930’s several abortive attempts were made to establish locally owned and managed banks to break the foreign monopoly
INDIGENOUS BANKS: –
In 1929, the industrial and commercial bank was set up by a handful of patriotic Nigerians. It folded up in 1930 due to under capitalization, poor management and aggressive competition from the expatriate banks.
In 1931 another indigenous bank, the Nigerian merchant banks was established. Like its predecessor, it went into liquidation I n1936.
With greater courage and planning. The same group of Nigeria Ltd. which was the first indigenous bank to survive. The next private indigenous banks to be established was the Agbonnagbe bank founded by chief Okupe in 1945.
This bank was taken over by the Western States Government in 1969 and its name was changed up in the early 1940’s collapsed in 946 under the weight of mismanagement.
This was followed by the Nigerian farm and commercial Bank in 1947 which failed in 1953. The merchant Bank opened business in 1953 and closed in 1960. Indeed, this was a period of free – for – all banking between 1947 and 1952, a total of 22 banks were registered in Nigeria, according to a study conducted by C.B.N. However, a figure as high as (185) banks was quoted from government records and was confirmed by the financial secretary as the number actually registered as banking companies between 1945 and 1952 of which 145 were registered in 1942 and 40 in 1952. Most of the banks however, merely registered without actually commencing operation. The nest successfully established indigenous bank was the African Continental Bank founded by (Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe) in 1947.
