  • Merkel Landis (January 5, 1875 – September 28, 1960) was an American lawyer and banker. A native resident of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, he was the treasurer and president of Carlisle Trust Company in Pennsylvania. He used his banking talents to help organize several banks and was president of a district of the Pennsylvania Bankers Association. He used his legal talents to govern and direct community organizations. Landis started the Christmas club savings program, now used by many banks nationwide. Starting with an idea from men working at a local factory, Landis made a system for the general public to develop a savings account with a yearly payout. This club concept involved depositing a small amount of each week's income into a bank account that was paid interest. The totaled accumulated amount then could be withdrawn in December for Christmas gifts. (en)
