View of a large financier on small deposits in banking
A renowned founder of a major American bank argued there should be no fixed minimum to open an account, sometimes as low as one dollar. He cited cases of banks turning away small depositors and noted small balances can still attract large business. Some bankers in Boston and New York reportedly consider charging for small deposits. The piece recalls Britain’s prior practice of charging a fee to make accounts profitable. It also recounts Acton era efforts to attract small depositors in New York, and praises W P G Harding for his role with the Federal Reserve Board.
