Origin and Evolution of Banking There are various views about the origin of the word bank. • One view is that it is derived from an Italian word banque which means a bench. • The other point of view is that it has originated from the German word banc which means a joint stock firm.
The Merchants • The earliest stage in the growth of banking can be traced to the working of merchants, these were traders in commodities. The trading activities were carried on by them from one place to another. It was risky for the traders to carry metallic money with themselves for payment. The traders with high reputation began to issue receipts or letters which were accepted as titles of money, the merchant banking thus forms the earliest stage in the evaluation of modern banking.
2. The goldsmiths • The second stage in the growth of banking is normally traced to earlier goldsmiths. These goldsmiths also called seths in India used to receipts gold & silver for safe custody. The goldsmiths began to issue receipts for metallic money (gold & silver) kept with them. These letters converted to notes with the passage of time on demand. Thus the goldsmiths, can be termed as the fore-runners of the modern notes.
3. The money lenders • The third stage in the development of banking arose when the goldsmiths/lender became the money lenders. • By experience the goldsmiths (who were called money lenders) came to know that they could keep a small proportion of the total deposits for meeting the demands of customers for cash & the rest they could easily lend. • Most of them allowed overdraft facilities, there was then too much confusion in the banking system.
The first central bank was formed in Geneva in 1578. • Bank of England was established in 1694. • The modern commercial banking system actually developed in the nineteenth century. with the passage of time the scope of commercial banks have greatly increased. They now deal with large number of matters such as obtaining funds, advancing loan to businesses, farmers, households etc
