Banco Nacional | 1963
Who remembers traveller’s cheques? Once so common, today they seem part of a distant past.
They were the perfect protection against theft and loss, since they needed the account holder’s signature to be used.
One of the banks offering them was Banco Nacional de Minas Gerais, later simply Banco Nacional.
Founded in Belo Horizonte in 1944 by brothers José and Waldomiro de Magalhães Pinto, the bank ceased to exist in 1995 after financial difficulties and intervention by the Central Bank.
For years it sponsored Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna (who died in 1994), and many fans still remember its name on his cap and helmet.
