IV. Long Answer Questions

Question 1.
Explain the various types of banks based on the organization with examples
Answer:
On the basis of organization the banking may be classified into the following:
1. Unit Banking:
Unit banking refers to a bank that is a single, usually small bank that provides financial services to its local community. A unit bank is independent and does not have any connecting banks or branches in other areas. Large financial resources are available in one branch. Decision-making is in the same branch.

So time is saved. Since the funds are allocated in one branch and no support of other branches. During financial crises, the unit bank has to close down. Hence it leads to regional imbalances or no balance growth.
E.g: Chase bank in the U.S

2. Branch Banking:
Branch banking refers to a bank that is connected to one or more other banks in an area or outside of it. To its customers, this bank provides all the usual financial services but is backed and ultimately controlled by a larger financial institution.

Loans and advances are based on merit, irrespective of the status. Larger financial resources are available in each branch. There is a delay in the decision-making process as they have to depend on the head office.
E.g. Lloyds Bank in England.
