Commercial Banking

Definition: Commercial Banking is the activity of a (division of a) bank in which a range of financial services are provided to large and medium-sized companies, unlike retail banks (that are focusing on individuals and small companies), and unlike investment banks (that focus on providing advisory-based corporate finance services to institutional investors, corporations, governments, and similar clients).
While retail banks cater to individuals looking to save or borrow, wholesale banks focus on the financial needs of companies and corporations and provide a range of services that allow these businesses to operate smoothly, grow, and hopefully thrive.
