8 Selecting from our Group expertise, we create th e best arrangem ent for you. In 1758, Nathaniel T. Butterfield founded a merchant-trading firm which in 1858 became Bermuda s first bank. By the late 1800s, the Bank was supporting a developing tourism industry by lending money to innkeepers, retailers and companies building the Island s infrastructure. In 1904, with the equivalent of about US$120,000 in assets, the Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son was incorporated by an Act of Parliament. Since that time it has grown and evolved, not only to become a leading domestic bank in Bermuda but also to be well regarded as a specialist offshore financial services group across the globe.
