About this document
Origins of Modern Banking in Britain by Jabran Khan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Banking in its modern form originated in Britain in the 14th century when Italian merchants known as Lombardary settled in London and began lending money to kings and engaging in money exchange, establishing the foundations of modern banking. Their money lending business was so lucrative that King Edward III later established a Royal Exchanger office to profit from exchanging foreign currencies.
