In the early 20th century the bank opened new branches in San Carlos ( March 1906 ) , Quirihue ( opened in 1904 and closed in 1912 ) and San Javier ( the latter in 1926 , closed on September 11 , 1931 and reopened in 1943 ) . The earthquake of December 1 , 1928 severely damaged the building of the bank , so the institution continued to serve in the side gardens of the city 's Plaza de Armas while the management was kept in the underground of the destroyed building . Between February 1929 and April 1930 the headquarters were rebuilt , designed by the brothers Carlos and Alberto Cruz Eyzaguirre and built by the company Forteza Hermanos . The 1939 Chillán earthquake destroyed the Cauquenes branch , which was later rebuilt
