Summary/Abstract: This paper, written on the basis of archival sources and previous results of historiography, tries to uncover the attempt of financial cooperation between Bosnian Serbs and Muslims during the Austro-Hungarian occupation and administration. The article indicates that attempts to establish a joint Bank were prompted by different motives, but that both sides could have benefited from success of this enterprise. The cooperation was initiated, both from economical urges and as an attempt to resist the penetration of foreign capital in the country. At the end, due to the overwhelming differences between the two sides, this enterprise failed, and they continued henceforth with establishing and developing national institutions in banking and finance.
