Corporate banking
Corporate banking, also known as business banking, refers to the aspect of banking that deals with corporate customers. The term was originally used in the U.S. to distinguish it from investment banking, after the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 separated the two activities. While the Act was repealed in the 1990s, corporate banking and investment banking services have been offered for many years under the same umbrella by most banks in the U.S. and elsewhere. Corporate banking is a key profit center for most banks; however, as the biggest originator of customer loans, it is also the source of regular write-downs for loans that have soured.

The corporate banking segment of banks typically serves a diverse range of clients, ranging from small to mid-sized local businesses with a few millions in revenues to large conglomerates with billions in sales and offices across the country.

Products and Services of Corporate Banking
