Unreferenced date December 2009 National Bank of SolomonIslands NBSI has the largest network of offices eight branches and eight agencies in the Islands. Although the Bank overall is profitable, the offices outside Honiara , the capital, are running at a loss. On 27 April 2007, Bank South Pacific made a formal announcement to the Port Moresby stock exchange that it had wholly acquired NBSI. Bank of South Pacific BSP intends to convert NBSI from a subsidiary to branches of BSP. History In 1951 Commonwealth Bank Commonwealth Bank of Australia , the government owned Australian bank, established a branch in the SolomonIslands . In 1981 Commonwealth transferred its operations in the SolomonIslands to the National Bank of SolomonIslands, which operated a joint venture 51 49, Commonwealth and Government of the SolomonIslands . At the time the bank had two branches, 14 agencies, and some 50 staff. In 1994 Commonwealth sold its shares in the National Bank of SolomonIslands to Bank of Hawaii . In 2002 Bank of Hawaii, which was undoing its strategy of acquiring banks in the Pacific, was unable to find a buyer for its shares. Bank of Hawaii then simply gave its 51 stake in NBSI to the Government of the SolomonIslands. Until BSP bought NBSI, the people of the SolomonIslands indirectly owned the bank through four trusts National Provident Fund NPF , which owned 49 , and three other trusts, the NBSI Health and Welfare Trust, NBSI Education Trust, and NBSI Employees Trust, each of which owned 17 . In 2003, widespread public unrest over the failure of a pyramid investment scheme forced Australia and New Zealand Banking Group ANZ to hire a charter jet to fly its expatriate bank officials to Melbourne. Westpac, National Bank of SolomonIslands, and the SolomonIslands central bank closed their branches. Eventually. all four reopened.
