Banks
A bank is a type of financial institution that acts as a payment agent for customers. It borrows and lends money. In the United States banks are not allowed to own non-financial companies. Banks operate as payment agents since they conduct checking or current accounts for customers, paying cheques, and collecting cheques deposited the current accounts. These financial stuctures offer almost all types of payment services. The activities of a bank can be subdivided into retail banking, private banking, business banking, and investment banking. Banks offer more commercial services which include: issue of banknotes (promissory notes issued by a banker and payable to bearer on demand); issuing bank drafts and bank cheques; providing documentary and standby letters of credit, guarantees, performance bonds, securities underwriting commitments and other forms of off balance sheet exposures; safekeeping of documents and other items in safe deposit boxes; currency exchange; sale, distribution or brokerage, with or without advice, of insurance, unit trusts and similar financial products as a financial supermarket
