The film was restored in 2014 through the Chaplin Essanay Project thanks to the financial support of Susan Harmon and Richard Meyer.
Restoration work was carried out at Lobster Films laboratory in 2014. Scanned at L'Immagine Ritrovata laboratory.
The Bank (1915) has been restored by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna and Lobster Films in collaboration with Film Preservation Associates, from a safety fine grain preserved at The Museum of Modern Art and the original camera negative preserved at UCLA film archives.
Some fragments were added from two nitrate prints preserved at the Library of Congress and the Cinemathèque Royale de Belgique. The last 45'' survive only in a 16mm in a vintage di-acetate Kodascope print, preserved in the Don Bursik collection.
Intertitles are reconstructed from re-release titles of 1920s found in both 35mm and Kodascope Libraries 16mm original elements.
