Abstract

The paper focuses on the last years of the Kranjska Savings Bank in the context in which it was founded in 1820. Until the end of 1927, it had the structure and organization of a private financial institution under the responsibility of a society. The members of the Society were the most important representatives of the business and economic world in Carniola and later in Slovenia. The article traces the process that led to the liquidation of the Society and the day-to-day challenges faced by the leading people in the savings bank. The focus of the article is on the members who persevered and worked to keep the savings bank running as smoothly and successfully as possible until the end of the Society’s existence.
