WHAT BANKS DO WITH MONEY
Banks make their profits mainly through lending or credit activities. Most provide other services, such as making local and foreign payments for customers for which they typically charge a fee, or offset against interest not paid on accounts. Some also provide other services, including providing investment advice and issuing securities, such as equities, on behalf of large companies. As regards to handling money, a key function for many banks, banking is specifically about:
-
receiving money, such as from employers or government bodies, or from customers;
-
storing (or custody) of money, such as safely in customers’ accounts;
