BANKING HISTORY

The first banks were probably the religious temples of the ancient world, and were probably established in the third millennium B.C. Banks probably predated the invention of money. Deposits initially consisted of grain and later other goods including cattle, agricultural implements, and eventually precious metals such as gold, in the form of easy-to-carry compressed plates. Temples and palaces were the safest places to store gold as they were constantly attended and well built. As sacred places, temples presented an extra deterrent to would-be thieves. There are extant records of loans from the 18th century BC in Babylon that were made by temple priests/monks to merchants. Banking in fact is as primitive as human society, for ever since man come to realize. The importance of money as a median of exchange. The necessity of a controlling or regulating agency or institution was naturally felt. Origin of banking in the world as priests “Trusted to take case of

    Because of the unique relationship between it and the government, the Bank was awarded special privileges, among these were its being a storehouse for public funds. The Bank could then use these funds for its own purposes without paying interest. It could issue bank notes and was not required to pay state taxes. It was also understood that Congress was not to charter any comparable financial institution[21]. In return, the Bank was to pay a bonus of one and a half million dollars, public funds were transferred and payments made with no charge and the government was to appoint five of the Bank directors[22].…

    The idea for a Bank of the United States or a National Bank was conceived by Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of Treasury under President George Washington (Remini, "Andrew Jackson and the Bank War," 23). It was originally supposed to serve as a central fiscal system for the nation where the government would deposit money and appoint five of the twenty five board members, in an attempt to provide some sort of government regulation and representation in this new bank. Most of the bank 's business would be private and it would be privately run (Remini, "Andrew Jackson and the Bank War," 24). The biggest problem with the banking system of the time was the discrepancy between paper money and "hard money," which is the bimetallic system of gold and silver (Remini, "Andrew Jackson and the Bank War," 25). This led to the challenge of issuing different bank notes at different state branches; the amounts were not always the same and it caused a problem with knowing which medium of exchange was correct (Remini, "Andrew Jackson and the Bank War," 25). The charter on the First Bank of the United States expired in 1811 but, due to financial troubles after the War of 1812, James Madison chartered the Second Bank of the United States on May 10, 1816 (Remini, "Andrew Jackson and the Bank War," 26).…

    Banks first became regulated in the 1930 when Franklin D. Roosevelt became president. When Roosevelt became president, “the fed government intervened deeply into the ‘banking business,’ which was defined by the IRS, FDIC, Comptroller of the Currency, SEC (if public-owned), and State Bank Supervisors etc. By defining what the ‘business of banking’s was the statutes, regulations, and enforcement personnel administering these laws, bankers were boxed into doing business as defined by state and federal governments.” (Ritholtz) Between the 1930s and 1969, two successful banks were prohibited from merging together. The only time that two banks could merge, is if one successful bank were to absorb an unsuccessful or failing bank.…

    Humans have long since abandoned relying solely on a barter economy for the alternative of currency. As early as the Mesopotamians and Ancient Egyptians, currency had been created from golden rings and bars in order to accumulate wealth and trading power. Similar concepts and ideas of currency developed independently around the globe in order for society to overcome economic needs. The economic values of European settlers in North America had a profound impact on the ways that the indigenous peoples of the area lived by created a currency from what was once a traditional decoration piece or gift (Kelechava, 2016).…

    The Bank of the United States was designed to make money and build an economy. It was designed by men like Alexander Hamilton and Robert Morris, but did not benefit the common citizen as much as wealthy investors. Why did a fledgling government need to borrow millions from overseas in order to invest in a “national” bank, to turn around and then borrow the same money back and pay interest on it? The banking system developed by Alexander Hamilton and Robert Morris was prime pickings for speculators, and laid the groundwork for a history of unscrupulous activity regarding our nation’s money supply that continues to this day. The signatures on the Constitution were barely dry before corruption and greed laid their roots in our country’s economic foundation.…

    California Gold Rush

    Local banks fulfilled this need by providing a safe and reliable place for one to store their gold, and would then give out what was called “banknotes”, similar to the modern U.S. dollar, in order to easily retrieve ones gold when it was needed. The closer the issuers of said banknotes were to the miners, the more reliable they were, so many outside of the California Gold Rush did not have the best of reputations, which caused an unstable economy during the earlier days of banking. Even due to this fact, the privately owned competing banks in areas such as California faced fierce competition with these local banks. The most important role that these banks had were to create a sort of ‘middleman’, providing a cash substitute in the form of their “banknotes”, as well as showing the importance of such intermediaries in a new and growing economy that would be later called the California Gold…

    The First Bank of the United States was created to fix the debt caused by the Revolutionary war. Although the original intent of the First Bank was to finance the government, Alexander Hamilton decided to make it a commercial bank as well, meaning a for-profit bank. Although this allowed Hamilton to loan money to business owners, many argued this idea was unconstitutional as it allowed a private institution the power to tax and print money. Therefore, in 1811, having “taken care of the national debt,” Congress refused to renew the Bank’s charter (by one vote), causing it to shut down.…

    Banking is indispensable in the modern world as it connects savers and borrowers. If you are a "saver", where would you save your treasures efficiently? Saving it on a chest or a vault is bold stupidity. Banks pay you interest because they loan your money to those who have ideas to use it. This is where "borrowers" enter. Banks do charge them interest but they will have money for innovative business ideas, providing jobs for people, and stimulating the economy. If you are a consumer, you can use banknotes as a medium of exchange. Remember, without banks, there would be no money for The Bangko Sentral Ng Pilipinas (BSP) is a bank as well who produces money for the nation.…
