Banque d'Alsace et de Lorraine

The Banque d'Alsace et de Lorraine (BAL, sometimes referred to as Banque d'Alsace-Lorraine) was a key participant in the idiosyncratic financial ecosystem of Alsace–Lorraine within the German Empire from its establishment in 1871 until World War I. A decade after the war's end, the BAL experienced financial distress and was taken over in 1931 by the Alsatian affiliate of Crédit Industriel et Commercial (CIC), forming the Crédit Industriel d'Alsace et de Lorraine (CIAL).
