From [0] we can see that there are 10 banks founded before 1700 and 24 from 1700 to 1800.

So it might not be that far fetched, assuming that the banks keep your accounts open after more than 100 years without use.

10 banks out of how many founded in 300 years?


I don't argue that it's probably a tiny fraction.

I was just pointing out that it might be somewhat possible for banks to exist for a span of time big enough for this.
