English, Scottish & Australian Bank Limited
Seal of the ES&A Bank. The motto translates from Latin as "By the gift of god".
ES&A opened its first Australian branch in Sydney in 1853.[3] Australian banknotes were printed by the bank and issued at branches in Sydney, Adelaide, Hobart and Melbourne. In 1893 its business was renamed the English, Scottish & Australian Bank Limited following a financial upheaval.[4]
It was one of 16 banks which supplied blank note forms to the Australian Government in 1911 which were superscribed as redeemable in gold and issued as the first Commonwealth notes.
On 1 October 1970 ES&A merged with the Australia and New Zealand Bank to form the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited.[6] At the time of the merger ES&A had a network of about 570 branches across Australia.
Esanda
Esanda was a consumer finance division of ES&A which began separate operations in 1955.[7] Its name is an acronym of ES&A. In 2015 ANZ sold Esanda to Macquarie Group.
Charles Wren became the accountant and branch inspector for South Australia in 1881. He moved to Melbourne in 1888 as inspector's accountant. He was appointed resident inspector in New South Wales in 1901, and became the bank's Australasian general manager in July 1909.[27]
