History

edit

The bank was established in Ruijin, Jiangxi, on 1 February 1932. From 1935 to 1936 it was gradually moved to Shanbei along with the Red Army and renamed to the Chinese Soviet Republic National Bank – Northwest Branch. Following the creation of the Second United Front and the dissolution of the CSR in the aftermath of the Xi'an Incident, the bank was renamed to the Shensi-Kansu-Ninghsia Border Area Bank in 1937.[2][3]
