The Agra & United Service Bank was incorporated in London in 1833 to serve British India, principally financing trade between Calcutta, Bombay, and the London money market. By 1862 it had extended operations into Hong Kong and the Straits Settlements, which explains the dollar denomination — rupee-denominated paper would have been commercially useless in those treaty ports. The bank collapsed spectacularly in 1866, one of several Indian agency houses destroyed by the credit crisis triggered by Overend, Gurney & Co.'s failure, and its notes were withdrawn.
The printer address of 37 Cheapside points to Perkins, Bacon & Co., whose London premises were at that address during this period — though the note itself may not carry an explicit imprint crediting them by name.
