Specification:
Michal Bosák (10. 12. 1869 – 18. 2. 1937) – American banker from Šariš – was among the most prominent representatives of the American Slovak community. After moving to America, he worked his way through various business activities to establish his own private bank, Michal Bosak Privat Bank, in the city of Olyphant. At the same time, he participated in building other banks and financial institutions in Pennsylvania. Alongside his business activities, he was involved in the national movement of American Slovaks and was also a signatory of the Pittsburgh Agreement. After the war and the establishment of Czechoslovakia, he visited the nationally liberated Slovakia several times and financially supported various projects. In 1920, he founded the American-Slovak Bank in Bratislava, which gradually opened 12 branches in Prague and other parts of Czechoslovakia. In Prešov, he had a representative headquarters built for the bank, still known today as Bosák's Bank.
