The Bank of British North America was a London-incorporated institution, which explains the consistent use of Perkins, Bacon & Co. throughout its Canadian note production — the bank's controlling interests remained British even as its branches spread across the colonies and, after 1867, the new Dominion. Perkins, Bacon had been engraving security documents since the 1820s and brought the same intaglio discipline to colonial currency that they applied to postage stamps across the Empire.
By 1871, Dominion of Canada notes were already circulating alongside chartered bank issues, creating a crowded field. The BBNA continued issuing its own notes until 1918, when the bank was absorbed by the Bank of Montreal.
