NATIONAL SECURITY BANK.
The principal object of the founders of this Establishment is
to afford the utmost security attainable to all persons having trans-
actions with the Bank; filth this view all the funds of the Bank,
from whatever source they may arise, will he invested in Govern-
ment Securities. As a guarantee for the strict observance of this
rule, two unexceptionable persons will be named by six of the prin-
cipal customers, whose duty it will be to ascertain twice a year, with-
out giving previous notice, whether the amount of Exchequer Bills,
Bank Notes, Gold, &c., in tho Bank, corresponds with the balances,
and the result of such inspection to be publicly certified.
The Bank will undertake all the business usually transacted by Pri-
vate and Joint Stock Banks, namely,— ordinary current accounts,
commission accounts, loans on public securities, the issue of circulars,
the granting of letters of credit, receiving dividends, and purchasing all
descriptions of British or Foreign securities, bullies, specie, &c. Dis •
counts alone will be excluded, but such accommodation may be pro-
cured through its agency, with every facility, and upon the most rea-
• sonable terms, without having recourse to Bill-brokers.
No account kept at the Bank will, under any circumstances, be al-
lowed to be overdrawn.
No advances will be made to any person whatever, but upon Go-
vernment Securities er the Public Funds.
Persons opening accounts with this Bank will have the option of
Indemnifying the Establishment for the expense and trouble of trans-
acting their business, either by the payment of a commission, or by
heepiag a certain amount of floating balance, but any amount above
the balance agreed upon may be carried to the deposit account.
From persons having spare capital, Individuals undetermined from
the state of the market as to the immediate sale or purchase of in -
vestments, Solicitors, Public Companies, Trustees, &c., special de-
Posits will be received at 21,i, per Cent. Interest, for any period be-
yond a week, and the dexter halves of Exchequer Bills, of a corres-
Poriding amount, will be given, if required, to the depositor, so as to
afford him the most complete security, and such deposits may be
withdrawn by giving three hours' notice.
Deposits under 1001. will be received at the same rate of interest.
