This term may also be used in any government where certain banks have a favorite status. In general, finance professionals don’t often refer to specific banks as pet banks in today’s financial world.
The original pet banks were also called wildcat banks. They resulted from a banking policy that involved a veto of the Second Bank of the United States by then president Andrew Jackson. Between 1816 and 1837, pet banks were given special status, and allowed to receive government surplus funds from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. |
