History
Raphaels Bank, one of the oldest independent banking houses in the country, was founded by Raphael Raphael, a Dutch merchant who, as a young man, left Amsterdam and came to London in 1787. He made a considerable fortune during the Napoleonic Wars and successive generations of the Raphael family moved into public share issues, raising loans for European Governments and large transactions in American Railway Stocks .
The family sold the Bank in 1983 and it is now owned by Lenlyn Holdings, a world leader in retail foreign exchange.
