What are Banks? - Back to Basics Mondays

Welcome back to "Money Matters Made Easy" with your host Izzy! In this episode of 'Back to Basics' Mondays, we're diving into the fundamental question: What is a bank? Sure, it's where you keep your money, but there's so much more to it! Imagine a bank as a bustling supermarket, dealing in money instead of groceries. Just like a supermarket, a bank offers a variety of services or 'products.' Savings accounts act as long-term storage facilities, earning you interest as a reward. Checking accounts are like shopping carts, allowing you to move your money freely for daily transactions. Need a large sum? The bank acts as a wholesaler, providing loans with interest. And just like specialty sections in a supermarket, banks offer credit cards, insurance, and investment products. But how do banks make money? By charging fees, earning interest on loans, and investing your deposits. So, remember, a bank is not just a place to store money, it's a financial supermarket to manage, grow, and protect your money.
