...shopping has become available that may change how they shop. Consumers should know the benefits of online shopping and brick-and –mortar shopping. If they take the time to know the differences and similarities it may save them some hassle of figuring out which way to shop. There are many differences and similarities between online and brick-and-mortar shopping, but the variety of choices, convenience, and price ultimately make up the consumers mind. The convenience of shopping has to fit the consumer’s lifestyle. Online shopping may be more convenient for some people that have a very busy lifestyle. Online stores are always open so shopping can be done any time. To shop online it is as easy as sitting down on the couch and opening the computer or to use a cell phone to make purchases. If the crowds of the traditional stores are too much to handle, it may be more of a convenience to make purchases online. It may seem like online shopping is easy and convenient but it comes with the price of security issues. When a credit card is used to make the payment it comes with the risk of identity or credit card information getting stolen. In the traditional brick-and-mortar shop there is less of a chance of security issues. The purchases can be paid with cash or credit card. In the store the credit card is only seen by the consumer. The traditional brick-and-mortar shopping may be more convenient if people like to touch, feel, or smell the products. In the traditional store people...

...3.2.1. Overdrafts/Credit Cards etc. Conventional banks offer the facility of overdrawing from account of the customer on interest.

...typical situations, they can buy with debit or credit cards, checks, or cash (Stephanie, 2007). However, other modes of payment include gift cards, gift certificates, stored value cards, gaming house chips, coupons at fairs, traveller’s checks, bank drafts, or money orders (Roth, 2014). It is imperative to note that in spite of the diversity in payment modes, the mode of payment is, in most cases, an appropriate constituent in business transactions (Raghubir & Srivastava, 2008). Thus, it is imperative to study the how certain modes of payment influence consumer behavior and spending decisions. The purpose of this article is to examine consumer spending as a function of payment mode (Chatterjee & Rose, 2011). It postulates that the situation is veritable if there is an association between the actual parting of the money and purchase decision and there are form differences between modes and the physical form of the acquisition of the purchased product (Incekara-Hafalira & Loewenstein, 2012). Thus, it will examine the willingness of consumers to spend more on products that have a credit logo than those that do not have it. It also scrutinizes the effect of attenuating credit card information to estimate the effect of a holistic versus a decomposition strategy. Similarly, it examines how consumers spend their money in cash versus scrip expenditures. Finally, it depicts the effect of attenuating payment modes to give a clear picture between git certificates and cash spending...

...Differences between Banks’ Current and Credit Accounts Student’s Name School Affiliation Differences between Banks’ current And Credit Accounts Through the use of technology, there has been a revolution on how money is used on a day to day basis. Banks have capitalized on this developing trend by offering various products and services that cater to individual needs and wants (Herman, 2005). In addition to this, they have developed enticing incentive offers that are meant to attract and retain potential customers. Doha Bank and Ahlibank are two such banks. CURRENT ACCOUNT SIMILARITIES After opening a current account at Ahlibank or Doha bank, the client is issued with a free debit card that facilitates easy access to available funds in the bank. Furthermore, the current account can be used to effect financial transactions on mobile phones and computers that have an access to the internet. Hence, the account holder is not limited to visiting the bank or the ATM (automated teller machine) in order to transact. Both banks offer free personalized checkbooks that have more than the usual account number and check number. Personalization means that the client can request the bank to add additional information to the checkbook. Different clients have different needs and want. In order to keep up with today's technological survey population both banks have introduced various forms of electronic means to communication. Emails...

...Midwest and Southeast. The company operates five main businesses that include commercial banking, branch banking, consumer lending, investment advisors, and Fifth Third processing solutions. According to Yahoo! Finance it operates 16 affiliates with over 1,291 full-service locations and 20,998 full-time employees. Fifth Third Bancorp was first established in the mid 19th century during the formulation of America’s national Banking system. The origins of Fifth Third Bank can be traced back to the Bank of the Ohio Valley in 1858. It was later purchased by Third National Bank in 1871. With the turn of the century came the union of Third National Bank and Fifth National Bank creating Fifth Third National Bank of Cincinnati on June 1, 1908. Between the 1950s and 1970s Fifth Third Bank began to experiment more with personal and commercial banking. As the bank expanded its services it began to use advertisements that featured the company’s 5/3 shield logo and in 1973 it adopted the slogan, “The only bank you’ll ever need”. Fifth Third booted its first computer in 1960, initiated home banking services, and the ATM in the 1970s. These electronic services formed the basis of what would later become Fifth Third payment services department. The bank holding company Fifth Third Bancorp was created in 1975.

...refer to how often the inventory account balances are updated. In a Periodic system, inventory account balances are updated once a year (some companies may do it more often, but all must do so at least once per year). In a Perpetual system, inventory account balances are updated after each sale. This type of system is much more complex. Scanning cash registers, bar coded merchandise, and similar devices are used to update the inventory records after each sale. Obviously, this type of system is very expensive, but it gives managers a high degree of control over inventory, helps purchasing agents order replacement merchandise in time, detects and deters theft and helps identify other problems relating to inventory. The main differences between the two relate to the journal entries used to record purchases and sales. The system a company chooses should be cost...

...Chapter-01 Introduction 1.1 Background of the study The term “Islamic banking” refers to a system of banking or banking activity that is consistent with Islamic law (Sharia) principles and guided by Islamic economics. In particular, Islamic law prohibits usury, the collection and payment of interest, also commonly called rib in Islamic discourse. In addition, Islamic law prohibits investing in businesses that are considered unlawful, or haram (such as businesses that sell alcohol or pork, or businesses that produce media such as gossip columns or pornography, which are contrary to Islamic values). Islamic banking has the same purpose as conventional banking to make money for the banking institute by lending out capital. But that is not the sole purpose either. The basic principle of Islamic banking is based on risk-sharing which is a component of trade rather than risk-transfer which is seen in conventional banking. Islamic banking introduces concepts such as profit sharing, safekeeping, joint venture, cost plus and leasing. There are three types of schedule commercial banks are in operation in our economy. They are Nationalized Commercial Banks, Local Private Commercial Banks and Foreign Private Commercial Banks. AIBL has discovered a new horizon in the field of banking area, which offers different General Banking, Investments and Foreign Exchange banking system.
