  • Nonprofit and Mutual Firms in the Development of the U.S. Personal Finance Industry
    Organizational Form and Industry Emergence: Nonprofit and Mutual Firms in the Development of the U.S. Personal Finance Industry R. Daniel Wadhwani Eberhardt School of Business University of the Pacific [email protected] This article examines historical variations in the ownership and governance of firms in the U.S. personal finance industry between the early nineteenth century and the Great Depression. It focuses, in particular, on mutual savings banks and their role in the development of the intermediated market for savings accounts. Economic theories of commercial nonprofits and mutuals usually emphasise the advantages of such ownership and governance structures in reducing agency and monitoring costs in markets that suffer from information asymmetries in exchanges between firms and their customers. While I find some evidence to support these theories, I also find that mutual savings banks predominated in the early years of the industry because the form offered entrepreneurial advantages over investor-owned corporations and because in some states they benefitted from regulatory and political advantages that joint-stock savings banks lacked. Their relative decline by the early twentieth century was the result of increasing competition in the market for savings deposits, the loosening of regulatory barriers to entry, and changes in public policy that reduced the transaction, innovation and regulatory advantages that the mutual savings bank form had once held. The article draws out the theoretical implications for our understanding of the historical role of nonprofit and mutual firms. Keywords: nonprofit; trusteeship; mutual; cooperative; savings banks; governance; ownership; organizational form; entrepreneurship; innovation. 1 Introduction In recent years, business historians have devoted increasing attention to understanding variation in the organizational forms of modern enterprise.

The combination of cash payments (and low penetration of cheques) in the Spanish retail sector together with increasing administrative costs, acted as incentives for Spanish savings banks embracing applications of computer technology (and specifically data processing infrastructure) to articulate viable solutions for cost reductions, offer alternative payment systems to cash and facilitate greater diversification of their business portfolio within retail banking.

ROSS University of Glasgow When William Callender of Royal Bank of Scotland’s Glasgow office died in May 1868, there was found, folded in the pocket of his greatcoat, a handwritten list of those ‘penny banks’ that he had played a significant role helping to create.2 It begins with Barony Penny Bank, opened on 15 May 1852, and concludes with Working Men’s Provident Bank in Partick, that commenced on 18 March 1865. Over the intervening period, Callender had been involved in the promotion of 23 others, including some located far from Glasgow, such as at Broughty Ferry, Dundee; Padiham, Yorkshire; and Greenwich, Kent. That Callender contributed so much to the ‘penny bank’ movement and appeared to value these institutions so highly that he carried this note about with him at all times supports the Glasgow Herald’s 1860 description of his relationship to ‘penny banks’ as one of ‘the first who made the principle a living fact’.3 It also reveals something of the commitment of bank officers working in other institutions to the ‘penny bank’ cause. This was very much part of the middle-class and philanthropic attitude that sustained ‘penny banks’ and saw them develop as one of the most remarkable social phenomena of the nineteenth century.

    Recent developments in UK payment clearing systems The past three years have seen a major reorganisation of the administration of the London-based payment clearing systems.

This international comparison looks at the evolution of the same organisational form in two distinct competitive environments. Changes in regulation and technological developments (particularly applications of information technology) are said to be responsible for enhancing competitiveness of retail finance. Archival research on the evolution of savings banks helps to ascertain how, prior to competitive changes taking place, participants in bank markets had to develop capabilities to compete.
