Banque de l'Indochine was a note-issuing bank established in Paris on January 21, 1875, for the territories of France in Asia. Up to World War II, the bank experienced three phases of development. From 1875 to 1888, it functioned as a colonial bank to help the French government manage its colonial properties in Southeast Asia. Then from 1889 to 1900, the bank shifted its operations from Indochina to China. Thereafter, from 1900 to 1941, the bank represented the interests of the French government in handling the Boxer indemnity and transacted international trade between France and China.
