However, in 1982, Halper helped organise Palmer National Bank while working as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, then left his role shortly before the bank opened. By 1984, Halper was Palmer National Bank's chairman. The idea for Palmer National Bank came about after a conversation between Halper and Harvey D. McLean, Jr. in 1980, both of whom worked on H. W. Bush's Presidential campaign. McLean later became the Vice Chairman of Palmer National Bank.

Palmer National Bank made loans to customs who then used it to channel the money to a Swiss bank account controlled by Colonel [[Oliver North]], who then used the same bank account to provide military assistance to the [[Contras]].
