Business- and Agricultural Bank of Jutland (Danish: Jydsk Handels- og Landbrugsbank) is a listed building and a former Danish bank in Aarhus.
In 1870 the firm D.B. Adler & Co., based in Copenhagen acquired the business and bank company Adler, Wulff & Meyer, based in Aarhus. The new company was turned into a Kommanditselskab structure and in October 1874 the Jydsk Handels- og Landbrugsbank A/S company was formed with Christian Ludvig Kier as president until 1876 when it became a subsidiary of the Copenhagen Business Bank, under its own name for many years, effectively functioning as a branch. From 1921 NIels Jensen became director of the branch and later the assistant director of Copenhagen Business Bank in 1934 and the vice-president in 1948.[2]
In 1944 the branch was moved to Rådhuspladsen and in 1990 the Copenhagen Business Bank, Danske Bank and Provinsbanken merged to form Danske Bank. The logo of the Copenhagen Business Bank was in use until the year of 2000 but the name and logo of Jydsk Handels- og Landbrugsbank was decommissioned.
