The African Banking Corporation was a British-registered institution operating across southern Africa, and its Johannesburg branch notes occupy an awkward historical moment — the city had only recently been reoccupied by British forces following the fall of the Transvaal in 1900, and commercial banking infrastructure was being rebuilt almost from scratch. A 20-pound denomination was never a note for ordinary transactions; this circulated among mining houses, merchants, and inter-bank settlements.
Bradbury Wilkinson handled the printing throughout this period for numerous colonial and commercial banks, and their security work was consistent and technically accomplished. The African Banking Corporation was eventually absorbed into Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas) in 1925, which effectively ended the series.
