From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The New York Bank of United States was a bank in the Bronx, New York City which was founded in 1913. The institution had hundreds of thousands of depositors. While it survived the turmoil of Black Tuesday, it ended up collapsing and being unable to make whole on its deposits; it was one of the first large banks to collapse during the Great Depression.
