Bank functions

Support payment mechanisms
In addition to providing funds, banks also function as intermediaries to support transaction mechanisms in the community. Services offered to support this function include transferring funds between domestic accounts, providing credit payment facilities such as credit cards, bill payment services, electronic payment systems, means of channeling employee salaries or other income.


Supports international transactions
Banks are needed to expedite international transactions. Transaction difficulties due to differences in geography, distance, culture and monetary systems between two parties of different countries will always be present. The presence of a bank will make these transactions easier, faster, and cheaper. Banks help through foreign currency exchange services or overseas fund transfers for international transactions.
