What's the longest National Bank name?

In the process of transcribing the Smithsonian's NBN proofs, I came across the longest bank name I'd ever seen: The Oklahoma Stockyards National Bank of Oklahoma City.

Are there any longer ones out there?
Intrigued by all things intaglio.

    The auction description says this one is the longest.

    The Aquidneck National Exchange Bank and Savings Company of Newport is long, but a few characters short of the Brotherhood.

  • I think Aquidneck wins for small size notes.

    Great bank name, I have not seen that one before. "Aquidneck" wild!

    A little history about the Aquidneck bank. I had never heard of it either so thought I'd check it out and see what was lying about.

    That's a very nice RI site tech.
    Always interested in St Louis MO & IL metro area and Evansville IN national bank notes and Vatican/papal states coins and medals!
  • Now to complete the story, we need Rhode Island Hospital Nation Bank information.
    There was an original connection to the hospital and a final connection to the Aquidneck bank.

    It's already there in the great link provided by tech:

  • STLNATS,
    Thanks for the link. It was very interesting. I still don't see Tech's link to that bank.


    EDIT: Found it. It certainly was not an obvious link.

    The Locomotive Engineers get an extra point for a 5 digit charter number and another 0.5 point for the region letter.

    Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association of San Francisco is long as well.

    Here's a large-size Aquidneck:

    By the way, here is our discussion of this same topic from a few years back. According to MEC2, Rye National Bank is the shortest. I'm not sure if we're counting spaces and state names in these.

    Cinch, imho, you can't count the spaces or the state (unless it's part of the bank's name), but you can count the city name -- if it's also attached. So I would argue that it has to include "of" [city name]. Bank of America does not, whereas the Aquidneck note does.

    I checked the Smithsonian's large-size proofs for the B of A, Charter 13044. But the bank went by a shorter name then. The currency gets smaller, the name gets longer -- go figure!
