The Banco del Valle de Chicama was a private agricultural bank operating in northern Peru's Chicama Valley — one of the most productive sugar-producing regions in South America during the 1870s. Its notes were essentially instruments of the hacienda economy, circulating among landowners, laborers, and local merchants rather than through any national banking network. ABNC's involvement was purely commercial; the company printed for dozens of Latin American private and state institutions during this period, and the quality of their intaglio work was the main reason provincial issuers sought them out despite the expense and distance.

The bank collapsed well before Peru's monetary system was destabilized by the War of the Pacific, making surviving examples genuinely rare.
