Munster & Leinster Bank

Allied Irish Banks Limited was formed in 1966 as a company that acquired three Irish banks: Provincial Bank of Ireland, the Royal Bank of Ireland, and the Munster & Leinster Bank. In 1864, the Munster Bank was established, but failed in 1885, due to debt and ran out of cash, causing it to close all of its branches. It relaunched in 1885, as the Munster and Leinster Bank.
