Nederlandsch-Indische Handelsbank

The Nederlandsch-Indische Handelsbank (NIHB, lit. 'Dutch [East] Indies Trade Bank') was a Dutch bank established in 1863 to finance trade between the Netherlands and the Dutch East Indies. During most of the colonial period, it was the second-largest of the “big three” commercial banks, behind the Netherlands Trading Company and ahead of the Nederlandsch-Indische Escompto Maatschappij, that dominated the Dutch East Indies’ financial system alongside the note-issuing Bank of Java.
