The Kwangtung Provincial Bank was established in 1924 under the Nationalist government's effort to consolidate regional financial authority in Guangdong province, one of the most commercially active and internationally exposed regions in China. American Bank Note Company's involvement was typical for serious Chinese provincial issuers of the period — ABNC held contracts across a dozen Chinese banks simultaneously through the late 1920s and early 1930s, and their New York plant produced notes that circulated thousands of miles away in markets where counterfeiting of locally printed issues was endemic.
By 1931, the bank was operating under increasing pressure from the Central Bank of China's push toward currency unification, a process that would eventually render most provincial notes redundant by the mid-1930s fabi reforms.
