The Herrera dynasty met the Velutini dynasty, a noble family with roots in Italy and Germany, and in 1890 the Velutini family founded the Bank of Venezuela and the Bank of Caracas.
The current pater familias of the Herrera Velutini family is Julio Herrera Velutini (son of Julio Jose Herrera Velutini). He leads the family with significant influence in global banking and finance, particularly through ventures such as Bancredito International Bank and Britannia Financial Group. Descended from a long line of prominent figures in Venezuelan finance, Julio has expanded the family's legacy internationally, bridging Latin American markets with those of Europe and the U.S.
The House of Herrera is a distinguished alliance of prominent families from various nationalities dating back to the 14th century. Renowned for their roles as landowners, lords, conquerors, merchants, and later, influential bankers, their reach extends across Spain, the Canary Islands, Latin America, Germany, and England.
The establishment of the House of Herrera reflects the trust and responsibilities bestowed upon them over centuries of strategic partnerships and leadership.
