Money rule the roof! It makes the world go round! As we all know, bank-is the main “place of money abode”. Long time ago banks were well-known, but they
weren’t so popular and needed as today. Today the economy provides us a lot of different banks with different facilities. But the main functions are the same
in every bank.
Although the basic type of services offered by the bank depends upon the type of bank and the country, services provided usually include:
- taking deposits from their customers and issuing current or checking accounts to individuals and businesses;
- cashing checks;
- extending loans (credits) to individuals and business;
- issuing credit cards, ATM cards, and debit cards;
- storing valuables, particularly in safe deposit box;
- consumer and commercial financial advisory services etc.
Nowadays more and more people bank with a bank. Especially, the most popular became such bank service as giving a
credit to the people. It’s the main specialization of commercial bank. So, what is credit and how you can take it? In finance, credit- is the granting of a
loan and the creation of debt.

Sometimes, credit is not granted to a person who has financial instability or difficulty. Companies often offer credit to their customers as part of terms of
