	Banks - ninemsn Encarta
		Banks in most countries are supervised by a central bank, such as the Bank of England in the United Kingdom, the Bundesbank in Germany, and the Federal Reserve System in the United States.
		Retail banks are often referred to as commercial banks; in the United Kingdom they are widely referred to as high street banks.
		In the United Kingdom the biggest retail banks (by assets) are Barclays, National Westminster (taken over by the Royal Bank of Scotland in 2000), Midland (now part of HSBC holdings), Abbey National (which used to be a building society), and Lloyds.

		The Bank of England is also less independent because the government of the United Kingdom reserves the right to overrule the actions implemented by The Bank in extreme circumstances (although this has yet to happen).
		The United States had multiple regulations limiting both the geographic area of banks and the services banks could offer (which was limited by the Glass-Steagall Act) and as a result banks in the United States were forced to remain small.
		This trend of bank merging is expected to continue since the super-regional banks (the banks which significantly increased in size after the Riegle-Neal Interstate Bank and Branching Efficiency Act was passed in 1994) are anticipated to continue to increase in size.

	Banking sector: Buyer beware
		While everyone knew that banks would be hit hard by a rising interest rate scenario, no one knew as to what would be the extent to which banks would be hit by the same.
		These fears have been compounded due to the fact that public sector banks, which are bound by regulatory requirements to maintain G-Sec investment portfolios, have in the last 2-3 years increased their exposure to this segment due to lack of other investment avenues (read: lack of adequate credit offtake).
		Banks were also able to show strong rise in their net profits for these years mainly due to the profits from their G-Sec portfolios.

	Mortgages, United Kingdom Mortgages, England Mortgages
		Unlike other countries there is no intervention in the market by the state or state funded entities and virtually all borrowing is funded by either mutual organisations (building societies and credit unions) or proprietary lenders (typically banks).
		Self cert mortgages have two disadvantages: the interest rates charged are usually higher than for normal mortgages and the loan to value ratio is usually lower.
		Normally when a bank lends a customer money they want to protect their money as much as possible, they do this by asking the borrower to pay a certain percentage of the loan in the form of a deposit.

		The United Kingdom's small banks' crisis of the early 1990s: what were the leading indicators of failure?
		This study employs a logit model to analyse at two points prior to the crisis the distinct characteristics of the banks that failed compared with those that survived.
		Perhaps not surprisingly, a number of measures of bank weakness - low loan growth, poor profitability and illiquidity - are found to be good short-term predictors of failure, as are a high dependence on net interest income and low leverage.
