The Russo-Asiatic Bank (Russian: Русско-Азиатский банк, French: Banque russo-asiatique, Traditional Chinese: 俄亞銀行) was a major Russian bank between 1910 and 1917. It was formed in 1910 through the merger of the Russo-Chinese Bank, with activities in Russia, China and Central Asia, and the Banque du Nord ("Northern Bank", Russian: Северный банк), a large domestic Russian bank. By 1914, it was Russia's largest private-sector bank by total assets. In late 1917, following the Russian Revolution, like all other commercial banks in Russia, its Russian operations were absorbed into the State Bank with no compensation to its shareholders. Its activities in Europe and China lingered for a while, but were eventually liquidated in 1926.2
