BANKS AND BANKING

In Britain, the central bank, which acts as banker for the state and for commercial banks, is the Bank of England. The Governor of the Bank of England advises the government on financial matters. It is also responsible for issuing banknotes. The main commercial banks are often called the “big four” and have branches in most towns.

In the US there are fourteen thousand different commercial banks. This is because banks are prevented by law from operating in more than one state. Unlike British banks, American banks are banks of deposit and credit and do not build up capital.

The US central bank is the Federal Reserve Bank, often called the Fed. In addition to the national Fed, there are twelve regional ones. The Fed tells commercial banks how much money they must keep in reserve. The Fed does not issue money. Dollar bills and coins are issued by the Department of the Treasury.

Most adults in Britain have bank account. People use a current account for their general expenses. Current account holders are given a cheque book. It is possible to withdraw money from an account by cheque.

Many people receive their salaries by automated transfer direct from their employer’s account into their own. Some people also have a deposit account in which they put money they want to save and on which they receive interest.

Banks issue a variety of plastic cards. The commercial banks offer bank loans for individuals and small business. Credit cards are widely used and debit cards are becoming more common, but checks are used to pay for many goods.

Banks used to open late (9.30 a.m.) and close early (3.30 p.m.), but due to customer pressure they now open and close at the same time as shops.

On 1 January 1999 the euro was introduced in the 11 countries of the European Union which supported monetary union. Britain chose not to be part of this group. However, many English businesses which trade with countries in Euroland have opened euro accounts so as to be able to pay for goods and be paid in euros.
