Banco de Occidente was a regional Colombian issuing bank operating out of Cali, one of several private banks authorized to circulate notes under Colombia's free banking period — a monetary arrangement that lasted, chaotically, from the 1870s until the government finally suppressed private emission in 1923. The American Bank Note Company's involvement was common for Latin American issuers of this era seeking engraved intaglio work that domestic printers couldn't match, and the ABNC plates were sometimes retained and reused across multiple date ranges, which explains the wide 1890–1919 window.

Notes from Occidente are considerably scarcer than those from the larger Bogotá-based banks.
