Wildcat Bank

The term wildcat bank refers to a particularly unsound and risky bank chartered under state law in the United States. They flourished (and died in droves during the occasional panic) during the long period of unregulated state banking, from 1816 to 1863. These banks issued paper currency backed by very high-risk or even fraudulent assets.
