The Bank of Adelaide (1865-1980), was taken over by the ANZ banking group in 1980. It was a successful bank which had a small share of the South Australian market making the surviving banknote issues as all being very rare. This bank survived the banking crises of the 1890s without closing its doors and by the middle of the 20th century it was regarded as a pillar of the Adelaide establishment.
