Intermediation

 

The Bank works as a “financial Intermediaries” who provide a fund to the loan takers from depositors.

Many people who have extra money and they are not used immediately. They need a safe place from where they can easily access their money and get it back anywhere/ anytime when required. Those people can open a bank account and safely keep their money.

Generally, You would see that most of the people take a Loan for the purpose of business, education, medical, personnel when they need extra money. Those people go to the bank and can take money (loan) for a period of time.

Imagine, if a bank doesn’t play a role of intermediator means banks don’t provide loans and don’t keep extra money, then where would you go? Hence, Bank plays a very important role between the depositors and borrowers.

Trust

 

A bank can’t survive without the trust of customers. Think about it - why you will deposit your money in a bank when your money will not be safe. So, the trust factor is very important in the banking field. you deposit your earned money in your bank because you know: -

No one can use your money. When You need your money, you can go to bank’s branch and get your money easily.

Bank provides you some interest in return.

This is the trust you have on your bank that it is taking care of your money.

 

 

Liquidity

 

Generally, people don’t know about the term of Liquidity. Some questions arrive in their mind such as what is the liquidity? Why is it so important?

In the banking sector, Liquidity is the ability to convert an asset into cash. It is also an ability to buy or sell a security without affecting the asset's price.

Imagine, you want to withdraw your money for any purpose and your bank says they don’t have cash. That will be wrong. Thus, the banks always have cash so that when you need your money, you can withdraw easily. Bank has the ability to provide immediate loans, cash through ATMs, the big amount on maturity of Fix Deposit (FDs) because of the liquidity.

In one word - Immediate availability of cash – to pay off short-term obligations – is liquidity.
