Finland developed a credit transfer system early. This system is known as “Giro system”. In 1939 Finland developed the system to transfer credit known as the postal giro system. The state owned Postipankki (the second largest bank in Finland) and the Post office had control of this system. Then in 1942 another system was developed which was known as the bank giro system. 7, record 1, English, - bank%20giro
