Frederick Huth & Co

Frederick Huth & Company was a British bank established in 1809, which became part of British Overseas Bank in 1936.[1]

In 1809, Frederick Huth, a German-born British merchant, established the London bank Frederick Huth.[2]

Following the death of Frederick Huth Jackson in 1921, Frederick Huth & Co was in an increasingly parlous state, and the Governor of the Bank of England pushed for it to be amalgamated with Konig Brothers, which duly happened in 1923.[3]

Then came the 1930s.

British Overseas Bank, established in London in 1919, became part of the Royal Bank of Scotland in 1962.[1]
