7. ADVANTAGES OF COMMERCIAL BANK
More Locations :
The most noticeable advantage of commercial banks is their retail store setup.
Most are large, global companies, and they have hundreds of retail locations in
major cities. This gives you the ability to access your money and accounts from
virtually any location.
Discounts :
Another advantage is commercial banks' ability to provide low prices. They act like
wholesale companies buying in bulk and selling at a discount. Most commercial
banks will not charge fees to open or maintain checking and savings accounts, and
their real estate loans are usually offered at low interest rates.
More Product Offerings :
Commercial banks can offer more products and services to their customers. A
commercial bank will offer everything a small, local bank does, plus CDs,
investment accounts, commercial real estate loans, and credit and debit cards.
