Peru
American interests in Peru
are served by our affiliate,
the Ba.tco Mcrcantil
Amcridano del Peru
The selection of a bank to act
in lorcign countries deserves
the most careful consideration
of the American merchant,
manufacturer and banker.
Such a bank must employ
uniform fairness to both
American and foreign clients
and to effect this it is neces
sary to be conversant with
the customs, characteristics
and modcof doing business of
the people of the countries in
which it operates.
It.ls easy enough for an American
bank to be .fair to Americans,
ifCaU5L ic lnow a"d understands
them, but It cannot be equally fair
to foreign customers unless it aljo
knows and understands thenu
The Mercantile Bank of the Amcr
ic assures this In Peru because its
affiliated bank with branchesln Lima.
rl.uip,a' Chlclayo, Callao and
Jrujlllo has both American and
feruvlan executives. The latter,
knowing and thoroughly under
, standing the Peruvians, assist us
Greatly in giving better service.
Thus our affiliates In all countries
arc more than representative. They
know Latin America as wc know
the United States. Our combined
knowledge Is the basis, for our service.
