At independence in 1975, the government converted the local branch of the Portuguese colonial bank, Banco Nacional Ultramarino, into the National Bank of São Tomé and Príncipe, which took on the functions of central bank, development bank, and commercial bank.   The government created a monobank by bringing the only other commercial bank in the country, the Banco Popular de Angola (formerly Banco Comercial de Angola and now Banco de Poupança e Crédito), under the control of Banco Nacional and by merging its savings bank, the Caixa de Crédito. In 1992, a reform law resulted in the National Bank giving up its development and commercial banking functions, focusing on central banking. With that reform, the bank took on its present name. The successor bank for the commercial banking functions was Banco Internacional de Sao Tome e Principe. In pursuit of this, the Bank shall uphold the following core values:  • Serving the national interest selflessly to ensure the continued prosperity of São Tomé and Príncipe;  • Providing quality service to its stakeholders;  • Instilling excellence in every area of the Bank's operations and service;  • Maintaining accessibility and openness to all stakeholders as is appropriate to the operations of the Bank; and  • Value the Bank's employees, through provision of a conducive environment that promotes professionalism and soliciting full commitment from the employees in return.
