This paper aims to analyse today's operation of the Brazilian banking system, under a geographical perspective. Beginning the time interval of this study from the installation of Plano Real (1994), it was possible to identify which were the main alterations in the technical and normative contents in the Brazilian territory that have a direct relationship with the recent development of the national banking system. Among the main innovations of that system, prominence was given to three issues: the massive process of privatization of state public banks; the implementation of the Brazilian System of Payments ( in Portugueses, SPB); and the diffusion of new ways of rendering banking services employees (banking correspondents, credit and debit cards and Internet banking, mainly), made possible by the informational objects that have been installed in Brazilian territory since the last decades of the XX century.
