2. What is Bank?
A banker or bank is a financial institution that acts as a payment agent for customers,
and borrows and lends money. In some countries such as Germany and Japan banks are
the primary owners of industrial corporations while in other countries such as the United
States banks are prohibited from owning non-financial companies.
The first modern bank was founded in Italy in Genoa in 1406, its name was Banco di San
Giorgio (Bank of St. George).
Banks act as payment agents by conducting checking or current accounts for customers,
paying cheques drawn by customers on the bank, and collecting cheques deposited to
customers' current accounts. Banks also enable customer payments via other payment
methods such as telegraphic transfer, EFTPOS, and ATM.
Banks borrow money by accepting funds deposited on current account, accepting term
deposits and by issuing debt securities such as banknotes and bonds. Banks lend money
by making advances to customers on current account, by making installment loans, and
by investing in marketable debt securities and other forms of lending.
Banks provide almost all payment services, and a bank account is considered
indispensable by most businesses, individuals and governments. Non-banks that provide
payment services such as remittance companies are not normally considered an adequate
substitute for having a bank account.
Banks borrow most funds borrowed from households and non-financial businesses, and
lend most funds lent to households and non-financial businesses, but non-bank lenders
provide a significant and in many cases adequate substitute for bank loans, and money
market funds, cash management trusts and other non-bank financial institutions in many
cases provide an adequate substitute to banks for lending savings to.
He definition of a bank varies from country to country.
Under English law, a bank is defined as a person who carries on the business of banking,
which is specified as:[1]
• conducting current accounts for his customers
• paying cheques drawn on a him, and
• collecting cheques for his customers.
In most English common law jurisdictions there is a Bills of Exchange Act that codifies
the law in relation to negotiable instruments, including cheques, and this Act contains a
statutory definition of the term banker: banker includes a body of persons, whether
incorporated or not, who carry on the business of banking' (Section 2, Interpretation).
Although this definition seems circular, it is actually functional, because it ensures tha
3. the legal basis for bank transactions such as cheques do not depend on how the bank is
organized or regulated.

desktop connectivity with Gigabit links to the branch's server farm. The
switches ensure uptime with features such as Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol,
link aggregation for the 10/100/1000 uplink ports and a redundant power
option, which boast the same features and ease of deployment as the Switch
4226Ts, but with 48 autosensing 10/100 ports.
"Having dealt with unmanaged switches for so long, the 3Com Switch 4200
family of switches is a godsend," said Bray. "We're getting added features,
speed, and throughput at a cost not much higher than non-managed devices.
Our branches benefit from increased uptime thanks to our ability to manage
and administer the switches remotely. The 3Com switches are a real time and
cost saver for our IT staff."
Employees routinely meet in the branch conference rooms, either with
