Bank of Aotearoa or Te Peeke o Aotearoa (The Bank of the North Island) was a bank established at Parawera in 1886 by the Tāwhiao. The bank was created to demonstrate Māori autonomy. Cheques were issued by customers but the bank issued no banknotes. It provided banking and monetary services to Māori and sample banknotes bore the legend 'E whaimana ana tenei moni ki nga tangata katoa' (this money is valid for all people). There were branch offices at Maungatautari and Maungakawa. There is evidence that it remained in business until at least 1905.
