Kjøbenhavns private Laanebank (Copenhagen Private Loaning Bank) was the first private bank in Copenhagen, Denmark.
History
The bank was established on 1 February 1854 at the initiative of Industriforeningen in association with, amongst others, Christian August Broberg, Gottlieb Abrahamson Gedalia and Alfred Hage. [1] The vinegar manufacturer Arnold Eigen Reimann was selected for the post as the bank's first manager. The bank was initially based in his apartment in Løngangsstræde. [2] It later moved to more suitable premises at Amagertorv 5. From 1753 to 1888, Københavns private Laanebank had a branch in Malmö, Sweden. [1]
In 1918, Københavns private Laanebank acquired Dansk Arbejderbank. In 1922, it was itself acquired by Landmandsbanken. [3]
