...When the business is half the world away, however, lending can be a riskier proposition. One way to resolve this issue is the use of banker’s acceptances. These are time drafts that a business can order from the bank. The financial institution promises to pay the exporting firm a specific amount on a specific date, at which time it recoups its money by debiting the importer’s account. A banker’s acceptance, or BA, works much like a post-dated check, which is simply an order for a bank to pay a specified party at a later date. The holder may choose to sell the BA for a discounted price on a secondary market, giving investors a relatively safe, short-term investment. BAs are frequently used in international trade because of advantages for both sides. Exporters often feel safer relying on payment from a reputable bank than a business with which it has little if any history. Once the bank verifies, or “accepts”, a time draft, it becomes a primary obligation of that institution. The importer may turn to a banker’s acceptance when it has trouble obtaining other forms of financing, or when a BA is the least expensive option. The advantage of borrowing is that it receives the goods and has the opportunity to resell them before making payment to the bank. Discounting the Acceptance To understand banker’s acceptances as an investment, it’s important to understand how businesses use them in global trade. Here’s one fairly typical example. An American company, Clear...

...What are Banks? Banks are the largest lending institutions through out the globe; the basic purpose of banks is to secure money of the people/organizations and to lend the money to the people/organizations as a creditor/lender. When they start returning money back to the bank either at once or in portions take interest on it. This interest is the prime source of the banks profit; interest is also known as “Usury”. The History of Banks The history of banks is old, but it is not exactly in that form which today we have, as we developed the way of banking and other related features are also changed.

...Departments In A Bank As soon as it becomes necessary, on account of volume of business, to divide the work in a bank into divisions, each employing a group of clerks, such division is organized into a department having a department head who is usually a teller, a head bookkeeper, or perhaps a junior officer. In the very large banks the executive staff is itself organized into groups, and there may be a vice - president and one or two assistant cashiers in charge of each important department. The work of a department in a large bank is nothing more nor less than the work of a single man in a small bank, apportioned among several men. For example, the receiving teller in a five-man bank will take the deposit, count the cash, examine the checks, assort them as to place payable, enter them upon the proper records and make a settlement or proof at the end of the day. In a large bank each of these operations is performed by a different man or group of clerks under the direction of the receiving teller, who is head of the department. It may be that he himself will do very little if any of the detail work. He becomes the manager. Frequently we find a department within a department, as for example, the money department within the paying teller's department. The ordinary departments, classified as to group, may be described as follows: Paying Teller's Department (Teller): Pays or certifies checks. In charge of the signature book or cards bearing the authorized signatures of all depositors...

Efficient settlement mechanisms, greater transparency and best market practices are put in place, which facilitate faster transactions and lower their costs. Efforts have been concentrated on improving the credit delivery mechanisms. Although the Narasimhan Committee on the Financial System (1991) recommended the phasing out of the directed credit programme at 10 per cent of the bank credit not only the proportion has been retained at 40% level but its coverage has been considerably enlarged. The appropriate instrument to achieve distributive justice is fiscal policy not credit policy. Fiscal policy ensures the scrutiny of budget provision at various levels.
