foreign and dominated by three banks: National City Bank of New York, with six (6) offices;
The Royal Bank of Canada, with five (5); and The Bank of Nova Scotia, with one, for a total of
12 offices.

The negotiations carried out between the Dominican Government and The Nacional City Bank of
New York (established in the country in 1926) extended for several months, concluding
with the signing of the sales contract between the future Bank of Reserves of the Republic

The original capital of Banreservas was one million pesos - RD$1,000,000 that would be paid
by the State. It was established that the undersigned was to be five hundred thousand pesos

Little by little, the bank began expanding its presence throughout the Republic, identifying with the
aspirations of each community and making development projects their own in all the
