Andries Pels (2 September 1655, in Amsterdam – 8 February 1731) was a rich Dutch banker and insurer from Amsterdam.[1][2] He was the banker of France in the era of John Law.[1] He was nephew of his namesake, poet Andries Pels,[1] and was uncle to the colonial governor Paulus van der Veen.[citation needed] In 1742 his widow, Angenita Pels-Bouwens (1660–1749), was the richest woman in Amsterdam, living at the Golden Bend.[citation needed]

Pels formed the partnership Andries Pels & Soonen, dealing in luxury goods, insurance, and currency, in 1707 that lasted until 1774.[1][2]
