BANKS

Money makes the world go round and so profit is the driving force underlying most business activities. Producers, wholesalers, forwarders, retailers and advertisers do not usually work for some idealistic reason. They work to earn a profit. When we talk about money we do not only mean cash (notes and coins), we also mean cheques, credit cards and debit cards, cash cards, certificates of deposit, Treasury bonds and shares.

Banks are institutions dealing with money. In developed countries banking systems usually consist of a central bank, clearing banks and commercial banks.

The central bank is responsible for the monetary policy of the country. It also acts as the banker for the government and keeps the country's reserves in gold and other currencies. It issues notes and coins, controls inflation and supervises all banking institutions in the country.

Clearing banks clear cheques and settle the difference in the banks' accounts with the central bank.

Commercial banks constitute the largest group of banks. They are usually limited companies which have the license to accept deposits and to store and transfer money on behalf of their customers. Commercial banks are businesses rendering services to the general public and to companies at a profit. The main functions of these banks include accepting deposits, granting credits and transferring money. As for deposits, they are kept on personal accounts (which may either be current or deposit) and on business accounts. Commercial banks also provide a variety of other financial and advisory services. These cover foreign exchange, foreign trade financing, insurance, pension funds, safe custody for valuables, mortgage loans, investment portfolio management, income tax and corporate tax management, factoring, leasing and hire purchase. Banks also handle the affairs of a deceased person and execute his or her will.

For these services banks charge fees and commissions. But the main part of the profit generated by commercial banks comes from credits extended to individual customers and to companies. A person or institution obtaining a loan must pay a price for it – interest. When calculating interest rates banks must consider not only their profits but also inflation and competition from other banks. On the other hand, when granting loans banks must also assess the creditworthiness of the borrower. Remember that because of bad loans a bank may go bankrupt.
