Former Bankers of Craiova. Popp Family

Summary/Abstract: This article proposes a short incursion in the history of the “Fratii Popp” Bank from Craiova, during the period 1924-1941. In order to establish the place of this society in the national bank and credit system became necessary to study a great number of archive documents that preserved the most numerous and significant papers, useful for our theme. The initiative of the founding belonged to N. T. Popp and the founding act of the society was signed by 34 persons from Dolj County. Following the social structure of the founding members we have noticed the presence of some well-known persons in the financial world, the great landlords, the traders and the politicians from those times. Among these, the next ones distinguished themselves: N. N. Popp, C. N. Popp, V. N. Popp, M. N. Popp, Paul Vâlnef, C. Dumitrescu-Negrea. The same names we would find among the shareholders from other banks founded in Oltenia during 1908-1920.
