The largest present day banks, i.e. Barclays, Lloyds, Midland and National Westminster, can trace their origins to the developments following the 1833 Banking Act which permitted the establishment of joint stock banks. The first of these banks was the National County and Westminster in 1835 and it was quickly followed by the other three plus the National Provincial Bank which merged with Westminster Bank much later to form NatWest.

These joint stock banks quickly grew during the second half of the nineteenth century, mostly by absorbing the hundreds of small private banks. The amalgamation process continued but at a much slower pace into the twentieth century, so that there are now relatively few banks and they all have network of branches.

The term retail banks (high street banks, commercial bank) is used to include all of the banks which have branch networks through which they are able to offer a wide range of services over the counter to a large amount of customers. The most important services which the retail banks provide are: the acceptance of deposits, the provision of ways in which deposits can be transferred and the

They have a great number of branches - 15000 branches. That's why British banking system is prototype of branch banking. This system evolved because of the small size of the country, the early development of efficient transportation and communications, and legislation encouraging joint-stock bank companies, which spread risk among a number of owners and limited the liability of stockholders in case of a failure.

National Girobank takes special place in the system of clearing banks. It was established by the government to meet the banking needs of the personal sector and the particular for people who are not particularly sophisticated in their needs for financial services. Some people see the large clearing banks as a little impersonal and prefer the familiar post office type organization through which Girobank operates.

In recent years Girobank itself has become more sophisticated in meeting the needs of its customers which now include businesses as well as personal customers. In 1978 it was granted a bank status by the Bank of England. It has a sophisticated central computer and 'now provides a full banking service by post and phone. The great advantage of such a service is that costs are much reduced, thus benefiting both customer and bank. Girobank customers pay cash in at Post Offices and withdraw cash either by cheque encashment at Post Offices or by LINK ATM. Other transactions are arranged by post or over the phone. Prepaid envelopes and other standard stationery are supplied.
