Retail banking, also known as consumer banking, is a sector of the banking industry that serves individual consumers rather than businesses or institutions. It offers a wide range of financial services that include savings and checking accounts, personal loans, credit cards, mortgages, and various other investment products like fixed deposits. The core function of retail banking is to accept deposits from customers and extend loans, thereby facilitating the flow of money within an economy. In terms of operations, retail banks generally have an extensive network of physical branches and ATMs, although digital platforms are increasingly becoming more prevalent for customer convenience. Retail banking is easily accessible to the general public, providing a secure means for managing personal finances. It also serves as a cornerstone for economic development by encouraging savings and offering credit opportunities. The widespread presence of branches and automated teller machines (ATMs) ensures that banking services are available even in remote locations. Currently, various types of retail banking services exist to cater to specific needs: standard checking accounts for daily transactions, savings accounts for longer-term deposits, and specialized accounts, such as individual retirement accounts (IRAs) for retirement savings. Furthermore, modern retail banks often offer value-added services such as financial planning, insurance, and wealth management to provide a comprehensive financial solution for customers.
