Amadeo Giannini
Amadeo Pietro Giannini (), also known as
Amadeo Peter Giannini or
A. P. Giannini (May 6, 1870 – June 3, 1949) was an American banker who founded the Bank of Italy, which eventually became
Bank of America. Giannini is credited as the inventor of many modern banking practices. Most notably, Giannini was one of the first bankers to offer banking services to
middle-class Americans, mainly Italian immigrants, rather than only the
upper class. He also pioneered the holding company structure and established one of the first modern trans-national institutions.
