Bank of Auckland was an Auckland, New Zealand note-issuing bank which took up deposits, made loans and was entitled to deal in precious metals but was not permitted to purchase real estate except to carry on its proper business. Its business focus was on Auckland Province. A few days after its collapse the four other banks then operating in Auckland: Union Bank of Australia, Bank of New South Wales, Bank of New Zealand and Bank of Australasia agreed to take up the bank's business and discharge the bank's liabilities.
