Walking Tour on the Financial History of Amsterdam

About

All around the centre of Amsterdam, its buildings still remind us of its heritage as the centre of finance and financial innovations such as the Amsterdam Bank, the first stock exchange, the first loan to the United States and the ingenious Amsterdam Municipal Giro. Former banker and central banker Simon Lelieveldt guides you through his hometown. And while doing so he shares stories and insights on payments systems and banking that are still relevant today and are linked to todays developments. Do note that the planning of the tour (max 15 persons) needs to be done well in advance as it needs to be planned in between current engagements as a regulatory compliance consultant. Please also note that the fees for commercial institutions and private tours are based on my consulting fees as they are used to pay for digital free available tours and information to the general public. A reduced fee does applies for educational institutions.
