National Bank of Czechoslovakia
The National Bank of Czechoslovakia was the central bank of Czechoslovakia between 1926 and 1939, succeeding the Austro-Hungarian Bank after a 6-year interval during which central banking functions were assumed directly by the country’s ministry of finance.
The National Bank of Czechoslovakia was established in the Schebek Palace, the former Prague branch of the Austro-Hungarian Bank.
From its establishment in 1950, the State Bank of Czechoslovakia was located in the former Prague head office of Živnostenská Banka.
