Many of today's banking services were first practiced in ancient Lydia,
Phoenicia, China, and Greece, where trade and commerce flourished. The
4 10

temples in Babylonia made loans from their treasuries as early as 2000 B.C.. The
temples of ancient Greece served as safe- deposit vaults for the valuables of
worshipers. The Greeks also coined money and developed a system of credit. The
Roman Empire had a highly developed banking system, and its bankers accepted
deposits of money, made loans, and pur- chased mortgages. Shortly after the fall
of Rome in AD 476, banking declined in Europe.
(1) _______ C _______ The moneychangers of the Italian states
developed facilities for exchanging local and foreign currency. Soon merchants
demanded other services, such as lending money, and gradually bank ser- vices
were expanded.
The first bank to offer most of the basic banking functions known today
was the Bank of Barcelona in Spain. Founded by merchants in 1401, this bank
held deposits, exchanged currency, and carried out lending operations. It also is
believed to have introduced the bank check. (2) _________________ b___aA
These institutions laid the foundation for modern banks of deposit and transaction.
For more than 300 years, banking on the European continent was in the
hands of powerful statesmen and wealthy private bankers, such as the Medici
family in Florence and the Fuggers in Germany. (3) ________ D ______
The Bank of France was organized in 1800 by Napoleon. The hank had
become the dominant financial institution in France by the mid-1800s. In Germany,
banking experienceda rapid development about the middle of the 19th century
with the establishment of several strong stock-issuing, or publicly owned banks.
Banking in the British Isles originated with the London goldsmiths of the 16th
century. These men made loans and held valuables for safekeeping. By the 17th
century English goldsmiths created the model for today's modern fractional
reserve banking -- that is, the practice of keeping a fraction of depositors' money in
reserve while ex- tending the remainder to borrowers in the form of loans.
Customers deposited gold and silver with the goldsmiths for safekeeping and were
given deposit receipts verifying their Ownership of the
gold deposited with the goldsmith. These receipts could be used as money
becausethey were backed by gold. But the goldsmiths soon discovered that they
could take a chance and issue additional receipts against the gold to other people
who needed to borrow money. (4) ______________ B _____ E_ Hence , the
amount of receipts or claims on the gold frequently exceeded the actual amount of
the gold, and the idea that bankers could create money was born.
5 10

(5) _______ f ___ A___ Other banks existed in the colonies prior to this,
most notably the Bank of Pennsylvania, but these banks were chartered by
individual states. In 1787 the Bank of North America changed to a Pennsylvania
charter following controversy about the legality of a congressional charter. Other
large banks were chartered in the early 1780s by the various states, primarily to is-
sue paper money called bank notes. These notes supplemented the coins then in
circulation and assisted greatly in business expansion. The banks were also
permitted to accept deposits and to make loans.
A. Three other early banks, each managed by a committee of city officials, were
the Bank of Amsterdam (1609), the Bank of Venice (1587), and the Bank of
Hamburg (1619).
B. This worked as long as the original depositors did not withdraw all their gold at
one time.
C. The increase of trade in 13th-century Italy prompted the revival of banking.
D. During the 19th century, members of the Rothschild family became the most
influential bankers in all Europe and probably in the world. This international
banking family was founded by German financier Mayer Amschel Rothschild
(1743 ~1812), but it soon spread to all the major European financial capitals.
E. Because there were no minimum reserve requirements on deposits, bank
notes were secured by the assets of the issuing banks. Most assets took the
form of business loans.
F. The first important bank in the United States was the Bank of North America,
established in 1781 by the Second Continental Congress. It was the first bank
chartered by the U.S. government.
