The first Bank of Guam was initially established by the Navy in 1915 and remained open until it was forced to cease operations in 1941 due to the World War II. After the War, the Navy reopened Bank of Guam on March 15, 1945.  

Below is a photo taken a little more than a week after the bank reopened. Picture in the bottom photo from left to right are: Jose Perez, two unidentified employees, Alexandrina Atoigue and Maria Camacho.
