Banco Occidental was one of a handful of Guatemalan private banks authorized to issue currency under the 1874 banking law, operating out of Quetzaltenango — Guatemala's second city and the commercial heart of the western coffee-growing highlands. The American Bank Note Company produced paper for most of these regional Guatemalan issuers, which means surviving notes from different banks often share plate architecture and border treatments, distinguished mainly by the name and overprinted details.
By 1920 the bank's days were numbered. Guatemala's 1926 monetary reform consolidated issue authority under the Banco Central, ending private bank circulation entirely. Notes from this final period of Occidental's operation are scarcer than earlier emissions.
