Commercial bank
A commercial bank is a type of
financial intermediary and a type of
bank. Commercial bank has two possible meanings:Commercial bank is the term used for a normal bank to distinguish it from an investment bank. This is what people normally call a "bank". The term "commercial" was used to distinguish it from an
investment bank. Since the two types of banks no longer have to be separate companies, some have used the term "commercial bank" to refer to banks which focus mainly on companies. In some English-speaking countries outside North America, the term "trading bank" was and is used to denote a commercial bank. After the great depression and the stock market crash of 1929, the U.S. Congress passed the Glass-Steagal Act 1930 (Khambata 1996) requiring that commercial banks only engage in banking activities (accepting deposits and making loans, as well as other fee based services), whereas investment banks were limited to capital markets activities. This separation is no longer mandatory.It raises funds by collecting
deposits from businesses and consumers via
checkable deposits,
savings deposits, and
time (or term) deposits. It makes
loans to businesses and consumers. It also buys
corporate bonds and
government bonds. Its primary
liabilities are deposits and primary
assets are loans and bonds.
