Banking Its Origin and evolution
Evolution of Banking
It has not so far been decided as to how the word 'Bank' originated. Some authors suggest that this word has been derived from the word Bancus' or 'Banque' which mean a bench. The explanation of this word has been related to the fact that the jews transacted the business of money exchange on benches in the market-place; and when the business failed the 'Bancus' was destroyed by the people. Incidentally the word 'Bankrupt' is said to have been evolved from this practice. Other authorities hold the opinion that the word 'Bank' is derived form the German word 'bane which means a Joint Stock fund. Later on the Germans occupied the major part of Italy and the word Banc was Italianized into "Bank".
