Retail banks deal specifically with retail consumers, though some global
financial services companies contain both retail and commercial banking
divisions. These banks offer services to the general public and are also called
personal or general banking institutions. Retail banks provide services such as
checking and savings accounts, loan and mortgage services, financing for
automobiles, and short-term loans like overdraft protection. Many larger retail
banks also offer credit card services to their customers, and may also supply
their clients with foreign currency exchange. Larger retail banks also often cater
to high-net-worth individuals, giving them specialty services such as private
banking and wealth management. Examples of retail banks include TD Bank
and Citibank.
