Question 40-50
The organization that today is known as the Bank of America did start out in America, but
under quite a different name. Italian American A.P. Giannini estalished this bank on October 17,
1904, in a renovated saloon in San Francisco’s Italian Community of North Beach under the name
Bank of Italy, with immigrants and first-time bank customers comprising the majority of his first
customers. During its development, Giannini’s bank survived major crises in the form of a natural
disaster and a major economc upheaval that not all other banks were able to overcome.
One major test for Giannini’s bank occured on April 18,1906, when a massive earthquake
struck San Fransisco, followed by a raging fire that destroyed much of the city Giannini obtained two
wagons and teams of horses, filled the wagons with tha bank’s reserves, mostly in the form of gold. He
covered the reserves with crates of oranges, and escaped from the chaos of the city with his clients’
funds protected. In the aftermath of disaster, Giannini’s bank is the first to resume operations.
Unable to install the bank in a proper office setting, Giannini opened up shop on the Washington
Street Wharf on a makeshift desk created from boards and barrels.
In the period following the 1906 fire, the Bank of Italy continued to prosper and expand. By
1918 there were twenty-four branches of the Bank of Italy, and by 1928 Giannini had acquired
numerous other banks, including a Bank of America located in New York City. In 1930 he
consolidated all the branches all the Bank of Italy. The Bank of America in New York City and another
Bank of America that he had formed in California into the Bank of America National Trust and
Saving Association.
A second major crisis for the bank occured during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Although
Giannini had already retired prior to the darkest days of Depression, he became incenced when
his successor began selling off banks during the bad economic times. Giannini resumed leadership
the bank at the age of sixty-two. Under Giannini’s leadership, the bank weathered the storm of the Depression and subsequently moved into a phase of overseas development.
