The Natal Bank Limited was one of several commercial banks operating in the Colony of Natal before Union in 1910, competing directly with the Standard Bank and the Bank of Africa for colonial business. Bradbury, Wilkinson produced the plates to a high technical standard — their intaglio work for colonial and dominion issuers during this period was consistent and closely held, with guilloche underprint patterns used to complicate photographic reproduction at a time when that threat was becoming commercially significant.
The bank was absorbed into the National Bank of South Africa in 1914, ending its note-issuing career entirely. S465A survivors from 1903 predate that merger by over a decade.
