Banque Liégeoise

The Banque Liégeoise, full original name Banque liégeoise et Caisse d'Épargnes (lit. 'Liège Bank and Savings Bank'),[1]: 26  was a bank in Liège, Belgium. It was founded in 1835 and was initially among the note-issuing banks in the recently established country, together with the Société Générale de Belgique, the Banque de Belgique, and the Bank of Flanders in Ghent.[1]: 25 

It waived its banknote issuance privilege in 1875 in favor of the National Bank of Belgium.[1]: 25 

By 1921 the Banque Liégeoise had foreign investments in Greece, Italy, and Spain.[2] By the second world war, its activity had come to an end. Its head office was on Place Saint-Paul [fr] in Liège.[3]
