Bank of the Netherlands

The central bank of the Kingdom of the Netherlands (in Dutch: De Nederlandsche Bank NV, DNB) was founded on March 25, 1814 by King William I. It is part of the European System of Central Banks (ESCB). The bank has the statutes of a joint stock company in which the Dutch State is the sole shareholder. The bank's headquarters are located in Amsterdam (Source: Wikipedia).
