Government Savings Bank of New South Wales (1907 - 1931)

Incorporated in New South Wales in 1907 to absorb the banks established through the (N.S.W.) Post Office in 1871.

In 1931 the savings bank business of the bank and the current account and fixed deposit business of the bank's Rural Bank department were amalgamated into the operations of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

The remainder of the Rural bank department's business was transferred to the Rural Bank of New South Wales in 1932.
