  3. WHAT IS A BANK? • A bank is a business. • Banks sell their services to earn money. • Banks must earn a profit to survive.

  4. A UNIQUE BUSINESS • The services banks offer to customers have to do almost entirely with handling money for other people. • Money is a medium of exchange—an agreed upon system for measuring values of goods and services. • Money shows how much something is worth. • A bank is a financial intermediary for the safeguarding, transferring, exchanging, or lending of money.

  5. TYPES OF BANKS • Commercial banks • Retail banks • Central banks

  6. BANKING TODAY • Traditionally, banking was viewed as a solid and slow-moving industry. • Banking today is an exciting, fast-moving, around-the-clock, around-the-world activity.

  7. MERGERS • A merger occurs when one or more banks join or acquire another bank or banks. • Mergers increase the size of banks, giving them more resources. • Mergers decrease the number of banks. • Mergers have created an opening for a new wave of small local banks.

  18. GUARANTEEING THE MONEY • In the United States, banks and the government work together to form the banking system and to make sure the money supply is adequate, appropriate, and trustworthy. • Much of this guarantee is backed through the central banking function of the Federal Reserve. • Individual banks work with the government to implement monetary policy, perform exchange functions, and defeat counterfeiters of currency. • Banks guarantee their own policies.

  19. THE SUBSTANCE OF SOCIETY • A great part of the economic system is psychological. • Banks are at the heart of our financial system, and their effect on your life cannot be calculated.

  20. Lesson 1.3HOW THE BANKING SYSTEM WORKS GOALS Explain how banks acquire money to do business Identify new services that banks offer to stay competitive

  21. MONEY AT WORK • Banks earn money in various ways. • Most of their income comes from the interest that people or businesses pay as they repay a loan. • When banks lend money, they put it to work.

  22. THE SPREAD • The difference between what a bank pays in interest and what it receives in interest is called the spread, or net interest income. • The spread is not pure profit. The spread is income, or revenue. • Profit (or net income) is what is left of revenue after expenses are deducted.

  23. OTHER FUNDS • In addition to interest income, banks have other sources of income. • They charge for various services such as rental of safe-deposit boxes, account maintenance fees for checking accounts, fees for online bill payments, and ATM transaction fees. • Banks make money on investments. • Banks may have funds at their disposal from stockholder investments.

  24. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES • An asset is anything of value. In financial terms, that usually means money. • A liquid asset is anything that can readily be exchanged, like cash. • A liability, in financial terms, is a cash obligation.

  25. TWO PRINCIPLES OF BANKING • A bank’s liabilities exceed its reserves. • A bank’s liabilities are more liquid than its assets.

  26. TEST OF BANK PROFITABILITY • Return on assets (ROA) Net income  Total assets  Return on assets • Return on equity (ROE) Net income  Total equity  Return on equity
