A Brief History of Banks

Banks have been a fundamental part of society since ancient times. Early banking began almost four millennia ago around 2,000 B.C. in Mesopotamia, temples were used as repositories for valuables, and records of transactions were kept. Later Greek and Roman civilizations adopted basic banking systems, the first modern bank was erected during the Renaissance in Italy. The Medici family built the first bank in the year 1397 in the city of Florence Italy. The rise of central banks was seen in the 17th century, for example, the Bank of England in 1694, to structure national finances. During the 20th century in the Great Depression, financial regulations like the Glass-Steagall Act of 1932 in the United States, allowed banks of the Federal Reserve to lend to five or more Federal Reserve system members or any individual member bank with a capital stock not exceeding five million dollars, against collateral. This forced commercial banks to refrain from investment activities and protect depositors from losses. Banks still play key roles in economies around the world, giving many financial institutions the ability to grow their economies.
