The Dutch Amsterdam Wisselbank: How Banking Built an Empire

6 min•18 juli 2026

The Amsterdam Wisselbank, founded in 1609, was the cornerstone of Dutch financial dominance. This episode dives into how the bank's innovative practices—like the agio system, deposit security, and bills of exchange—stabilized currency, lowered interest rates, and fueled global trade. We explore its role in the VOC's success, the bank's strict secrecy, and its eventual decline. Featuring key figures like Pieter van der Horst and the influence of the Bank of Amsterdam on modern central banking.
