Understand the role of banks

Using the Banking Operations and Financial Intermediation knowledge points

Banks act as financial intermediaries. When you deposit money, they do not store it in an individual vault. Instead, they pool deposits together to fund loans for other customers, such as home mortgages or auto loans, earning interest in the process.

Evaluate the given options

Using the Banking Operations and Financial Intermediation knowledge points

• Option 1: Incorrect. Banks do not keep physical cash separated in individual vaults.
• Option 2: Correct. This describes the core function of financial intermediation.
• Option 3: Incorrect. Banks do not invest savings account deposits into user-selected stocks.
• Option 4: Incorrect. Deposits are liabilities owed back to customers, not revenue used directly for payroll.
