The Banco Credito Popular do Brazil was one of several private banks chartered during the frenzied financial expansion of Brazil's Encilhamento period — a speculative bubble deliberately inflated by finance minister Rui Barbosa's loose money policies beginning in 1889. The federal government's decision to allow multiple banks to issue their own currency simultaneously flooded the market with paper; many of these institutions collapsed within a few years of receiving their charters, leaving their notes unredeemed.
ABNC produced the plates in New York, which was routine for Brazilian private bank issues of this period. Whether significant quantities ever reached active circulation before the bank's failure is unclear.
