About Specific Types of Banking

There are many different types of banking, including commercial banking, investment banking, and retail banking. Commercial banking refers to the activities of banks that provide financial services to businesses, such as loans, credit, and cash management. Investment banking involves providing financial services to companies and governments, such as underwriting and issuing securities, and providing advice on mergers and acquisitions. Retail banking is the provision of financial services to individuals, such as checking and savings accounts, credit cards, and mortgages. Each type of banking has its own unique characteristics and serves different customer groups.

† To check the rates and terms you qualify for, one or more soft credit pulls will be done by SuperMoney, and/or SuperMoney's lending partners, that will not affect your credit score. However, if you choose a product and continue your application at a lending partners' website, they will request your full credit report from one or more consumer reporting agencies, which is considered a hard credit pull and may affect your credit.
