‘Global Correspondent Banking 1870-2000’ (GloCoBank) is a 5-year research project funded by the European Research Council (ERC) which seeks to identify and analyse the international network of correspondent banking relationships across the 20th century.

Over the course of the project we will be publishing a series of working papers on topics related to our research with the aim of stimulating discussion on and making connections with issues that are of relevance to industry and policy makers today.
