It was the Banc de Barcelona, which initially focused on financing businesses.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This bank stood out for being the first bank in the state to issue banknotes, as journalist Sergi Hern\u00e1ndez explained on the betev\u00e9 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/beteve.cat\/va-passar-aqui\/banc-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The journalist also emphasises the fact that the bank did not just focus on circulating banknotes throughout the state, given that at that time banknote issuance was delocalised, but was also <\/span><b>the first to help trade and industry<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>The bank\u2019s first banknotes were entirely handmade<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. To prevent them from being counterfeited, they were made with many cylinder mold watermarks and were clipped into a checkbook. Drawings were also an important security point for their difficult reproduction, making them less likely to be counterfeited. Hern\u00e1ndez also reminds us that there were two female figures on some banknotes of this period: one female figure represented Spain, and the other represented Barcelona, as a symbol of the bank\u2019s mothers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"component gallery\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n      <div class=\"col col-lg-10 offset-lg-1\">\n        <div id=\"slider_1\" class=\"carousel slide\" data-wrap=\"false\" data-interval=\"false\">\n          <div class=\"carousel-inner\">\n            <div class=\"carousel-item active\">\n              <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"d-block w-100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.11onze.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/FULL_IMAGE_POST_52.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n              <div class=\"carousel-caption\">\n                <p id=\"tw-target-text\" class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large XcVN5d tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traducci\u00f3\"><strong>Old cannon foundry: Rambla de Santa M\u00f2nica &#8211; Barcelona.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"tw-data-text tw-text-large XcVN5d tw-ta\" dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Traducci\u00f3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Antiga_foneria_de_canons.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pere L\u00f3pez<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/3.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0<\/a>, via Wikimedia Commons.<\/p>\n\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"component text\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n\n\n    <div class=\"row\">\n      <div class=\"col  col-lg-8  offset-lg-2\">\n        <h3><b>On the banknotes, one female figure represented Spain, and the other Barcelona, as a symbol of the bank\u2019s mothers.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The journalist reminds us that the Banc de Barcelona, in its early days, <\/span><b>ran smoothly until it suffered its first crises<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Specifically, in 1874 it stopped issuing banknotes for the provincial banks, which meant that it ceased to operate as a commercial bank. Subsequently, under the effects of the crisis in Spain after the First World War, the Banco de Barcelona went bankrupt in 1920.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the same year that it went bankrupt, the Banc de Catalunya was born in Reus. This bank holding company was created by the local financiers Fransesc and Eduard Recasens, and Evarist F\u00e0bregas, as Marc Pons writes in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elnacional.cat\/ca\/cultura\/1931-escac-i-mat-als-bancs-catalans_281325_102.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">El Nacional<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These three people, owners of different banks in our country, took the remains of the Banco de Barcelona and added them to their new bank, called Banc de Catalunya. Pons also reminds us that <\/span><b>the bank began to grow and open branches around Catalonia and even in the Valencian Country, and in 1930 it went international with the opening of a branch in Paris<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. But the history of this new bank was short. As the journalist Marc Pons wrote in his article in El Nacional, on 2 July 1931, Minister Prieto ordered the withdrawal of the balances held by Campsa and Cepsa in the Banc de Catalunya, which represented more than 50% of the bank\u2019s deposits. Individuals and businesses also withdrew their deposits, and this led to the collapse of the Banc de Catalunya a few days later. And with the bankruptcy and the Bank of Spain refusing to finance the Banc de Catalunya, it became impossible to meet the obligations arising from the activity of Campsa and Cepsa. Thus, in 1931 it had to close its doors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>With the Banc of Catalunya bankrupt, and the Bank of Spain refusing to finance the Banco de Catalu\u00f1a, the Banco de Catalu\u00f1a finally went bankrupt in 1931.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, in the Catalan Countries, two building societies still operate, those known as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caixaontinyent.es\/\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caixa d\u2019Ontinyent<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/colonya.com\/ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caixa d\u2019Estalvis de Pollen\u00e7a<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There are also different credit cooperatives, such as the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caixaenginyers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caixa d\u2019Enginyers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.caixaguissona.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caixa de Guissona<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In addition, we have a dozen banks, an electronic money institution, different securities brokers, management companies of collective investment institutions and cooperative societies with financial services according to the data of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ca.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Llista_d%27entitats_financeres_dels_Pa%C3%AFsos_Catalans\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">list<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of financial entities of the Catalan countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But we are at a time of change in society, the pandemic has accelerated what was already happening more gradually, which is <\/span><b>the need to<\/b> <b>reinvent the way we live, to be more ethical and more sustainable<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This has created the need for a bank of the future, a bank that adapts to all generations, with a clear response, that is transparent and where its clients are treated as people, attending to their real needs with transparency and in a simple way. <\/span><b>We are leaving traditional banking behind<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Without detracting from a history of banks and building societies that have influenced and left their mark on the Catalan economy, it is now time to reinvent ourselves, to roll up our sleeves and \u201cgood sickle blow\u201d as we Catalans say, cultivate the land to give birth to the new banking system that the country needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>11Onze is the community fintech of Catalonia.
