The Kirtland Safety Society (KSS) was first proposed as a bank in 1836, and eventually organized on January 2, 1837, as a joint stock company, by leaders and followers of the Church of the Latter Day Saints. According to KSS's 1837 "Articles of Agreement", it was intended to serve the financial needs of the growing Latter Day Saint community in Kirtland, Ohio. Its preamble stated it was: ... for the promotion of our temporal interests, and for the better management of our different occupations, which consist in agriculture, mechanical arts, and merchandising.

  • Die Kirtland Safety Society (KSS) war ein Finanzinstitut, das Joseph Smith, der Gründer und Präsident der Kirche Jesu Christi der Heiligen der letzten Tage zum 1. Januar 1837 ins Leben rief, um den Liquiditätsengpässen seiner Glaubens- und Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft sowie des Gemeinwesens in Kirtland (Ohio) abzuhelfen und damit die Wirtschaft der Region zu fördern. Präsident der Bank war Sidney Rigdon, Smith selbst amtierte als Kassierer. Wegen verfehlter Finanzpolitik der USA, mangelnden Genehmigungen und mangelnden Verständnisses für Geldpolitik von Seiten der Betreiber brach die Bank im November 1837 zusammen und verursachte bei ihren Kunden und Aktionären hohe Verluste.
