Too help stop the bank failures in the US during the start of the Great Depression, Hoover's Secretary of the Treasury, Andrew Mellon, proposed that the major banks and financiers pool their private funds into a National Credit Corporation. Eventually, $500,000,000 was placed in the NCC with the purpose being to loan money to banks that were on the verge of failing. Unfortunately, the NCC did not succeed in stopping the banking collapse because it lent the money to banks that were already financially sound and could meet the collateral requirements of the NCC.. The banking system continued to fall apart and the NCC was replaced by the RFC.
