Wholesale banking is the provision of services by banks to the likes of large corporate clients, mid-sized companies, real estate

developers and investors, international trade finance businesses, institutional customers (such as pension funds and government entities/agencies), and services offered to other banks or other financial institutions. In essence, wholesale banking services usually involve high value transactions. Wholesale banking contrasts with retail banking, which is the provision of banking services to individuals. (Wholesale finance means financial services, which are conducted between financial services companies and institutions such as banks, insurers, fund managers, and stockbrokers.) Modern wholesale banks are engaged in: finance wholesaling, underwriting, market making, consultancy, mergers and acquisitions, fund management.

RETAIL BANKING
Retail banking is banking in which banking institutions execute transactions directly with consumers, rather than corporations or other banks. Services offered include: savings and transactional accounts, mortgages, personal loans, debit cards, credit cards, and so forth.

Types of banking
Commercial bank has two meanings: Commercial bank is the term used for a normal bank to distinguish it from an

investment bank. (After the great depression, the U.S. Congress required that banks only engage in banking activities, whereas investment banks were limited to capital markets activities. This separation is no longer mandatory.) Commercial bank can also refer to a bank or a division of a bank that mostly deals

with deposits and loans from corporations or large businesses, as opposed to normal individual members of the public (retail banking). It is the most successful department of banking. Community development bank are regulated banks that provide financial services and credit

to underserved markets or populations. Private banks manage the assets of high net worth individuals. Offshore banks are banks located in jurisdictions with low taxation and regulation.

Many offshore banks are essentially private banks. Savings banks accept savings deposits. Postal savings banks are savings banks associated with national postal systems.
