Banking:

ButwhatisaBank? Bank is an institution where people park their surplus money (Deposit) and earn some return called interest. At the same time people who need money can borrow from bank for a cost (again interest).Therefore bank is an institution involved in the business of borrowing and lending money. It charges higher rates of interest while lending and pays lesser interest to depositors. The difference betweenlendingandborrowingrateiscalleditsNetinterestmargin(NIM)
