Scope of Commercial Banking :
A commercial bank is a financial institution that grants loans, accepts deposits, and
offers basic financial products such as savings accounts and certificates of deposit
to individuals and businesses. It makes money primarily by providing different
types of loans to customers and charging interest.
Commercial banks are an important part of the economy. Not only do they provide
consumers with an essential service, but they also help create capital and liquidity
in the market. This entails taking money that their customers deposit for their
savings and lending it out to others. Commercial banks play a role in the creation
of credit, which leads to an increase in production, employment, and consumer
spending, thereby boosting the economy. As such, commercial banks are heavily
regulated by central banks. For instance, central banks impose reserve
requirements on commercial banks. This means banks are required to hold a
certain percentage of their consumer deposits at the central bank as a cushion if
there's a rush to withdraw funds by the general public.
The commercial banking sector in Pakistan is by far the largest intermediary
between savers and investors. It mobilises the savings of the community by offering
various types of deposit facilities and savings schemes. Resources thus mobilised
are used for lending in various sectors of the economy and for investment in
securities and shares. Like commercial banks in other countries they also discount
trade bills, issue guarantees, provide remittance facilities and render miscellaneous
agency services. At present most of the operations of the banks are conducted on
the basis of interest. The commercial banks help in mobilising savings through
network of branch banking. People in developing countries have low incomes but
the banks induce them to save by introducing variety of deposit schemes to suit
the needs of individual depositors. The commercial banks finance the industrial
sector in a number of ways. They provide short-term, medium-term and long-term
loans to industry. The commercial banks help the large agricultural sector in
developing countries in a number of ways. They provide loans to traders in
agricultural commodities. commercial banks perform several secondary functions
i.e To collect and clear cheques, dividends, and interest warrant, To make payments
of rent, insurance premium,To deal in foreign exchange transactions,To purchase
