Danish author and fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen (1805–1875) is one of our first customers. When Sparekassen for Kjøbenhavn og Omegn opens in 1820, saving money in a bank is a new phenomenon; the few banks that exist in the Nordic countries during this time are not intended to be used by ordinary people. That changes when savings campaigns spread across Europe, inspired by ideas concerning combating poverty through diligence and thrift following the Age of Enlightenment. H.C. Andersen, who was born poor, also begins saving. When he dies in 1875, he has the equivalent of several million kroner in the bank.
