It had branches in Devon at Dartmouth, Newton Abbot, Totnes, Ivybridge, Modbury, Paignton, Saltash, Stonehouse, Mutley, Devonport, Kingsbridge, Yealmpton and South Brent.[1] In 1914 the bank became insolvent, having notoriously attempted to defraud its customers, and was acquired by Lloyds Bank.[2]
