New Services in Banking
Banks perform the widest range of functions in the economy
and consequently any modern full-service banking institution should
provide the widest variety of services.
Fig. 6
Banks may be defined as firms producing and selling financial
services. Their success or failure hinges on their ability to identify the
financial services the public demands, produce those services effi-
ciently, and sell them at a competitive price. The service menu of
banks does not remain unchanged as new services are constantly being
introduced and developed by commercial banks. Many of them offer a
combination of wholesale and retail banking. The former provides
large scale services to the corporate sector. The latter mainly provides
smaller scale services to the general public.
The 1980s ushered in an explosion of new service options.
Many of the new services have simply been variations of traditional
deposit and loan product. Other innovative services, however, have
broken new ground and exposed bankers to all the uncertainty and risk
associated with new product development.
