The Guernsey Banking Company was the island's first joint-stock bank, founded in 1837 at a time when Guernsey's financial infrastructure was still largely informal. Perkins, Bacon & Petch — responsible for a substantial share of colonial and small-nation currency printing in the Victorian period — produced the plates using their steel intaglio process, the same technique that made their banknote and stamp work difficult to counterfeit by the standards of the day.
The bank itself was absorbed into the Midland Bank network in 1914, ending independent Guernsey banking. Notes from the 1872–1887 window are the last issued before a consolidation period that would eventually eliminate most private Channel Island issuers entirely.
