Wildcat banking was the issuance of paper currency in the United States by poorly capitalized state-chartered banks. These wildcat banks existed alongside more stable state banks during the Free Banking Era from 1836 to 1865, when the country had no national banking system. States granted banking charters readily and applied regulations ineffectively, if at all. Bank closures and outright scams regularly occurred, leaving people with worthless money.

  • Wild cat banking (eller wildcat banking) var ett begrepp i USA under perioden med så kallad free banking, det vill säga då de inte hade någon centralbank och i stort sett vem som helst kunde ge ut pengar. Det finns många anekdoter kring den här perioden, om hur mängder av värdelösa sedlar trycktes upp och lurades på godtrogna individer. På svenska känner vi till vildkattsbanksfenomenet från Vilhelm Mobergs utvandrarepos. (sv)
