A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits from the public and creates credit.

Lending activities can be performed either directly or indirectly through capital markets.

Due to their importance in the financial stability of a country, banks are highly regulated in most countries.

Most nations have institutionalized a system known as fractional reserve banking under which banks hold liquid assets equal to only a portion of their current liabilities.

In addition to other regulations intended to ensure liquidity, banks are generally subject to minimum capital requirements based on an international set of capital standards, known as the Basel Accords.

Finance is a field that deals with the study of investments.

It includes the dynamics of assets and liabilities over time under conditions of different degrees of uncertainty and risk.

Finance can also be defined as the science of money management.

Finance aims to price assets based on their risk level and their expected rate of return.

Finance can be broken into three different sub-categories: public finance, corporate finance and personal finance.

A savings and loan association (S&L), or thrift institution, is a financial institution that specializes in accepting savings, deposits, and making mortgage and other loans.

The terms "S&L" or "thrift" are mainly used in the United States; similar institutions in the United Kingdom, Ireland and some Commonwealth countries include building societies and trustee savings banks.

They are often mutually held (often called mutual savings banks), meaning that the depositors and borrowers are members with voting rights, and have the ability to direct the financial and managerial goals of the organization like the members of a credit union or the policyholders of a mutual insurance company.

While it is possible for an S&L to be a joint-stock company, and even publicly traded; in such instances it is no longer truly a mutual association, and depositors and borrowers no longer have membership rights and managerial control.

By law, thrifts can have no more than 20 percent of their lending in commercial loans — their focus on mortgage and consumer loans makes them particularly vulnerable to housing downturns such as the deep one the U.S. has experienced since 2007.
