The Real Estate Bank of Arkansas was a bank in Arkansas during the 1830s through 1850s. Formed in 1836,the bank had a troubled history with accusations of waste and favoritism,as well as violations of the bank's legal charter. The bank suspended specie payments in 1839 to allow it to lend out more money. Paper money issued by the bank lost value,and the bank entered trusteeship in 1842. An act of the Arkansas legislature approved of the transfer to the trustees in 1843,but the trustees did not forward information to the state and personally benefited from the arrangement. In 1853,the Arkansas legislature passed a bill to have the Arkansas Attorney General take the bank to chancery court,but the filing could not be made until 1854 because of lack of cooperation from the trustees.

The bonds related to the bank were not fully extinguished until 1894,and a portion of them,known as the Holford Bonds,proved particularly problematic.
