state-chartered banks
During the free banking era in the United States, the industry was dominated by state chartered banks. This is a type of bank that is different from federal reserve banks because they are not insured by the FDIC, but by the state instead.
Free Banking Era
The free banking era (1837-1863) was marked by significant instability due to the proliferation of state-chartered banks, which often issued their own banknotes without adequate backing. This led to issues such as bank failures, rampant inflation, and a lack of uniform currency, resulting in confusion and mistrust among the public. Additionally, the absence of federal regulation allowed for inconsistent banking practices and contributed to financial panics, notably the Panic of 1837. Overall, the era was characterized by a fragile banking system that struggled to maintain public confidence.
