oldest bank Logos and Brands

Financial institutions with centuries of history, having survived wars, revolutions, and economic crises, comprise the “Oldest Bank” section. Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena (founded in 1472), Berenberg Bank (1590), C. Hoare & Co (1672), and the Bank of England (1694) bear heraldic emblems featuring griffins, lions, and Latin mottos. The visual symbols of the world’s oldest banks reflect centuries of continuous activity and attachment to the cities where their first offices were opened. This section features the logos of institutions whose origins date back to the Renaissance and, in some cases, to the Middle Ages.
