ACCBank plc is a commercial bank in Ireland that focuses on agriculture, business and personal banking. The bank has its origins in the Agricultural Credit Corporation set up in 1927 in the Irish Free State to finance agriculture, the bank was successful and lead to the creation of the Industrial Credit Company which was modelled on it and provided finance to industry. In the early 1990s, the company name was changed from "Agricultural Credit Corporation plc" to "ACCBank plc" in order to signify that the company was now targeting more than simply agricultural customers. However in more recent times, many of ACCBank's branches have been closed down, and the company has largely withdrawn from the personal finance market. In early 2002, the bank was sold by the Irish Government to Rabobank.
