Last December, Pinterest was the 42nd-most-trafficked website, according to comScore, the data company — which means it matters. Even to bankers.

In addition to a multitude of nonsense, Pinterest is stocked with much banking-related images (it’s all about the images on Pinterest). And since Pinterest is an image catalogue, much of the relevance is to those who are engaged in design, marketing, advertising architecture and interior design for banks, as evidenced by the image of the German bank ad at left.

Because we are big fans of design here at Bank Innovation (what, you don’t like our bullseye logo?), we are pleased to share with you 16 banking-related boards on Pinterest — including some curated by Bank Innovation — that are worth a visit, and perhaps worth following.
