Abstract: The first banking institutions in Colombia were established during the second half of the nineteenth century. This phenomenon first appeared, in Antioquia, in 1872, with the founding of the Banco de Antioquia (then of a semi-official character}. Following this, a series of commercial banks were established as issuing, draft, deposit and rebate organizations, which along with some commercial houses, that performed banking operations, began to the form a regional banking system and by 1883 there were eleven banking establishments functioning. The aim of this work is to analyse the conditions, that brought about the appearance of these first banks, their structureand contribution to the economic development of Antioquia during the period 1872-1886.
