It later changed its name to the American Banknote Company. The American Bank Note Company was formed in 1879 by consolidation of the American Bank Note Company, the National Bank Note Company and the Continental Bank Note Company.

The company later merged with the United Bank Note Corporation in 1911 and continued to operate as American Bank Note Company. Later, ABN became a subsidiary of the United States Banknote Corporation, a holding company. USBN changed its name back to the American Banknote Corporation and, in 1999,  filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
