The Tank Family
The Tanks have been managing royal wealth since the 14th century and are therefore subject to the vicissitudes that accompany the decisions of the monarchs they serve. However, the frequency with which they are called upon by the highest office holders demonstrates their expertise in banking matters over the centuries.
Germany: Holy Roman Empire
The Tanks were ennobled by Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor (reign: 1346-78). The Tank family is the name of one or more Dano-Norwegian noble families of German origin. They have always been experts in finance, with many members of the family working independently to manage the wealth of various kings, emperors and nobles.
Denmark
Martin Tank, one of King Christian IV’s officers since 1638, was confirmed as a member of the combined Danish and Norwegian nobility on 23 October 1643 and was also granted a coat of arms. Martin Tank was the Danish Resident of The Hague. He was among the nobles who attended the 1660 meeting of the estates (Danish: stændermøde) in Copenhagen. Towards the end of his life, Tank was an advisor in the chamber of the Prince Elector of Saxony.
Norway
Carsten Tank, government minister and owner of the estate where the Norwegian Constitution was signed in 1814. Carsten Tank was a Norwegian businessman and politician. From 1790 onwards he ran extensive business activities and built up a considerable fortune. He owned about 100 farms and lived in the manor house Rød by Halden.
The Dano-Norwegian Empire
In December 1813, Tank attended a meeting in Christiania to discuss the creation of a separate Norwegian bank. He was also introduced at the notable Eidsvoll Meeting on 16 February 1814, and on 2 March of the same year he became a “member of the Ministry of Finance” in the Government Council. Tank joined the Cabinet on 17 May and headed the Ministry of Finance until his resignation in July. In early August 1814, during a war with Sweden, he acted as a mediator for Karl Johan during the armistice negotiations and conveyed, among other things, his offer of an armistice to Christian Frederik. Tank was a representative of the Storting in the period 1815–1816 and 1821–1822, and in 1821 he was president of the Storting. He was hit hard by the economic crisis of the 1820s. Many members of the family began to move to other countries and work independently.
The Americas
The Industrial Revolution began in the 18th century, when agricultural societies became more industrialized and urbanized. The transcontinental railroad, the cotton gin, electricity and other inventions changed society permanently. Bankers were the main source of finance for merchants in this dynamic environment.
With a strong and trusted family name, Tank Bank began its financial activities in America in mid-1941. In 1977, it expanded its investments in private funds and in 2005 developed the international investment area. Today, Tank Bank’s private banking clients can invest in the High Yield operation, where the investment made by the client is highly profitable, within a pre-defined period, with assured capital and profitability guaranteed by Tank.Bank.
