Originally its building was located on the Calle de la Piedad (current Bartolomé Mitre), neighborhood of San Nicolás. In 1905 a new building was built by the architect Carlos Agote, located at the intersections of Reconquista and Cangallo (Buenos Aires).[4] Its original headquarters was acquired by Banco Galicia in 1988, who demolished the original building in 2001.[5]
The Banco Español del Río de la Plata had branches in several European cities, including Barcelona, Madrid (Caryatid Building) and London. It was merged with the Banco Comercial del Norte in 1983.[6]
