Commercial banks are concerned mainly with making and receiving payments, receiving deposits
And making short-term loans to private individuals, companies and other organizations. The banks
increasingly provide a number of other services to their customers: trustee and executor facilities,
The supply of foreign currency, the purchase and sale of securities, insurance, credit transfer, personal
Loan and credit-card facilities. The banks have also over the years diversified into other financial
Services in competition with the finance houses and the merchant banks, e.g. venture or risk
Capital and the management of unit trusts (universal banks). In the UK competition among the
Retail banks has intensified as technology has rendered the large branch network far less important
In the delivery of services; and as the division between different types of financial service has broken
Down. In 1997, to reflect that, it was announced that a new unified regulatory structure for all
Types of financial institution would be created.
