Savings Bank (Spain)
In Spain, a savings bank ( or informally just ''caja'', , , informally caixa, ) is a financial institution that specializes in accepting savings deposit account, deposits and granting loans. Spanish banks fall into two categories: Privately owned banks (''bancos'') and government owned banks (''cajas''—literally pay office, or pay desk). The original aim was to encourage thrift among the very poor, but they evolved to compete with and rival commercial banks. Over time, most cajas colluded with regional political establishments to create a self-serving system of unscrupulous financing for regional governments provided by politically stuffed savings banks' boards which, in turn, thrived in what has been defined as "a culture of greed, cronyism and political meddling". This system was exposed after the 2008 financial crisis. As a result, out of the 45 cajas in existence in 2007, only two have survived in their initial form. The rest were absorbed by banks, dismantling in effect th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
