: The Structure and Functions of a Bank
. The English commercial banks have branches in all the major towns and a similar structure and mode of working is common to them all. The owners are the shareholders. At the outset they provide the necessary capital. They are all organized on the joint stock principle and registered public companies. The Chairman and Board of Directors are elected by the ordinary shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and are responsible for the efficient management of the bank. The Board is concerned with the overall policy of the bank and major decisions which put that policy into effect. The Board will appoint a Managing Director who is directly responsible to them and a member of the Board. They will also appoint the most senior executives who in turn appoint the rest of the clerical staff who will be responsible in different capacities for the day to day running of the bank. The essence of a bank’s activities is the collection of deposits through current and deposit account and the use of these funds to provide loans or funds for investment. The current account is the one commonly held and is drawn upon by cheques and standing orders. The deposit account is more in the nature of a savings account. The pattern of investments which a bank decide upon is crucial because, on the one hand, the bank must use the funds wisely to make a profit and, on the other, funds must be available for depositors to withdraw when they wish to do so. At the end of each business year the Directors recommend and the Annual General Meeting decides how much of the profit should be distribute to the shareholders as dividend, and how much should be retained in the business. In preparation for the Annual General Meeting, a bank publishes its Report and Accounts. These must be sent to every shareholder and are also available for anyone with an interest in the affairs of the bank. From the published accounts shareholders can easily determine the total profits the bank has earned and how much is available for distribution. Questions on the text

. Student: The bank must use just about every form of exchange in a day’s work. Cashier: Just about. Of course, we constantly handle coins and bills of every denomination. S.: They’re what you call legal tender. C.: Yes. Or currency. A nation’s currency is its legal tender. S.: But a check isn’t legal tender. C.: No. However checks are a very common form of exchange, and they are generally accepted in lieu of currency. S.: Are traveller’s checks currency? C.: Not in a strict sense. But they’re immediately negotiable everywhere. For instance, even merchants will cash them under most circumstances. S.: The bearer need only present proper identification. C.: That’s right. S.: Well, what’s a bank note? Is that currency? C.: Definitely. Bank notes are issued by the banks of the Federal Reserve System, and they’re legal tender just as silver certificates are. S.: That’s what I thought. But getting back to checks, why are bank drafts sometimes preferred over checks? C.: Well, in the case of a check, the party who signs it is the only one who guarantees payment. But a bank draft is issued and guaranteed by a bank. S.: Is that true of cashier’s checks, too? C.: Yes. And also of certified checks and bank money orders. S.: What about sight drafts? C.: Now, sight drafts are different. They’re form of request for payment through a bank. Questions on the dialogue
: Currency and other Forms of Exchange
. The work of bank centres around money and financial services. Virtually and activity involving money or advice about financial matters is undertaken by all the commercial banks. The immediate service offered by the bank is the receipt for deposit of coins, notes and cheques and the cashing of cheques, through current accounts. Coins and notes in circulation have the status of “legal tender” that is to say they must be taken in payment of a debt although the extend to which this applies in the case of coins is deliberately restricted for the sake of convenience. The most common means of payment, particularly for significant sums of money, is the cheque since it is both safer and more convenient than using cash. However, it is not legal tender and creditors can refuse to accept it if they wish. Normally both nations cheques and traveller’s cheques are readily negotiable if the bearer has some means of proving his identity and the creditor can be sure that the cheque will be “honoured”. To assist the use of cheques banks now provide their customers with bankers cards which, when used in association with a cheque, will guarantee it up to a stated maximum. If a customer wishes to make payments of large amounts of money by cheque and is not known to the creditor, then he may obtain a “certified cheque” from his bank. Such a cheque is signed by the bank and therefore payment is guaranteed. Those trading overseas, or in conditions where there may be a significant time lapse between sending out goods and their receipt by the customer, may use a Bill of Exchange as a means of payment. This is really a post dated cheque which assures the creditor payment but also gives the buyer opportunity to inspect the goods before the transaction is completed. Those whose credit standing is unknown may have to get the Bill “accepted” before a creditor will take it. Such a process guarantees payment and most work of this kind is undertaken by the merchant banks. Because Bills are post dated creditors may have to wait some time for their money. They can overcome this problem by endorsing the Bill and then either discounting it with a Discount House or a bank or passing it on to another trader in settlement of a debt of their own. By the time it comes to maturity a Bill may have passed through several hands and on each occasion it must be endorsed. The commercial banks participate in this activity in two ways: in part by lending money to the discount houses and in part by discounting bills for their own customers. Questions on the text

. There are two general reasons for using a bank account. The first and most common is the convenience and safety provided by a current account at a bank. The second is that small and perhaps regular surpluses are available to be saved, and for this purpose a bank provides deposits accounts. A deposit account will not offer a high rate of interest and would not be the best way to save large sums of money for any long period of time, but it is designed to make saving simple, convenient and safe. It is especially appropriate for those who may save small amounts from time to time without any planned regularity or for those who wish to save for a particular purpose in the immediate future, for example for annual holidays or for the purchase of a major item such as a car. Most customers of a bank who have opened a deposit account will also have a current account and this makes the transfer of amounts of money from one to the other an easy matter. Regular payments into a deposit account can be made through a standing order to the bank who will automatically transfer the agreed amount according to your instructions. Other payments are made on standard forms but it is most convenient and provides a useful record if the depositor uses a paying in book. Interest is calculated every six months and added to the account. The rate of interest varies from time to time and is publicly advertised in any bank. Because the bank uses money deposited with them to lend to others it normally requires about seven days notice of intention to withdraw money from a deposit account, but unless there is a heavy demand for money they are not likely to insist on this and cash is often immediately available to those who wish to withdraw it. There is an assumption that such notice was given and you would lose seven day’s interest on the money. The increasing need for security and the use of computers in wage payments have combined to make it more common to have a bank account than to be without one. This kind of account is a current one and its most common use is a single regular payment in either a weekly wage or a monthly salary and regular payments out to meet the normal everyday expenses. Most payments are still made by cheque although the use, of the standing order or the direct debit is becoming very common. It is normally expected that a current account will remain in balance and customers who regularly maintain an agreed minimum balance are often given the services of the bank without charge. In general, however, charges are made which vary with the size of the balance, the amount of use of the bank’s services and the number of transactions. If the account is overdrawn a further charge, which is interest on the overdrawn amount, is also made. Overdrafts are not permitted automatically and anything other than a small temporary overdraft would have to be by agreement with the bank manager. Such a facility is often useful particularly when there is a short term disbalance between income and expenditure. On the other hand, since money in a current account does not attract interest, it is not a good idea to maintain large cash balances, these would be better transferred to a deposit account or to an alternative form of saving.

. Part 1. Application for Credit
Banker: Our discount committee is still discussing your application for credit. I wonder if you’d mind giving us some more information about certain items shown on your balance sheet. Customer: Not at all. B.: Is the mortgage on your fixed assets being amortized? C.: Yes. We’re making semi-annual payment on this obligation. B.: Your balance sheet show some indebtedness. Are any of your assets pledged as security? C.: No. That’s just an open note. B.: Would your company be willing to pledge part of its current assets as collateral security to our loan? C.: We wouldn’t object to that. Part of this money will be used to retire preset debts and part to expand our operations. Then we can immediately being to liquidate this new liability. B.: I think we’d better prefer that arrangement Part 2. Granting the Loan on an Open Note
Builder: I received your notice that my note is due. I can pay it off now, but there is a piece of land right next to my property that I’d like to buy. Banker: I don’t remember your situation exactly. Are your present holding free of encumbrance? Bu.: My real estate is clear. But there’s a chattel mortgage on my construction equipment. Ba.: Has this land you want to buy been appraised? Bu.: Yes. It belongs to an estate and was appraised by order of the court. They estimated its value at $20000. Ba.: Can it be bought for that figure! Bu.: I think so. I’d like to make them that offer. Ba.: Would you consider giving us a trust deed to secure your present note plus the additional funds you’ll need? Bu.: I might. But I’d thought that my net worth is high enough that I could borrow the amount on my open note. Ba.: Well, in that case, would your wife agree to be a co-signer? Bu.: I’m sure she would, because title to the property will be in both our names. Ba.: Well, it seems to me that you have enough equity in your property for us to make the loan on an open note.

Applications for Loans
Banks make their profits by lending the money which customers deposit with them to others who need it for personal or business reasons. Most people need more money than they have currently available at some time in their lives. To be a borrower you must be a customer of the bank because the money will be lent to you through a bank account. There are two ways in which you may borrow. The first, and easy, is to spend more money than you have in your current account – to overdraw. The second, and the normal way of borrowing larger amounts or for a long period of time is the loan. If a manager permits an overdraft on current account he is likely to set a limit to the size of the overdraft and may stipulate a date by which the account is back in credit. Businesses whose payments and receipts are often irregular will frequently need to use overdraft facilities and they are often granted to private customers as well particularly when the manager knows that regular payments are made directly into the account. If a loan is granted it will be a fixed sum immediately available for a fixed period of time. The principal and the interest on it may all become due for payment at the end of that period but for personal loans it is common to arrange that the loan and interest are repaid in equal regular instalments over the period of the loan. A separate account is opened to record the repayments as they are made. Whether you are seeking money for business or personal reasons there are a number of things that the manager will want to know before he is prepared to grant your request. The obvious facts will be the amount that you seek and the arrangements for re-payment that you are able to suggest. You need to tell him something about the purpose of the loan, a business loan is likely to help you make profits out of which the loan can be repaid with interest and he will wish to judge for himself whether or not this is likely. Personal loans usually have to be repaid out of an income which will not get any bigger and the manager will be particularly anxious to ensure that you are not being too optimistic. In deciding this he will be considerably assisted by his knowledge of you and his estimate of your character. Sometimes people do not ask for enough money because they are anxious about the burden of the repayments. The manager will be wise enough to try and ensure that you will have sufficient amount of money to do what you want to do. Finally we will consider whether or not you really will be able to repay and what kind of security you can offer against the possibility that you do not repay. In the case of a business the manager may well want to see well prepared, relevant documents such as profit and loss accounts and balance sheets for the most recent years. He would also ask about the expected return from the use of the money and want to see some figures upon which you have based your calculations. For a business good security might be one or more of the assets of the business while personal loans are often secured by such things as life insurance policies on which the bank is making regular payment for you or the deeds of your house.

Board Member: I notice that our cash and cash-in-bank has been building up above the amount required by law. President: I’ve had the same thoughts. And right now there is a new offering of municipal bonds that can be bought at a price that will yield 3.5%. B.M.: Are they general obligation bonds? P.: Yes, they are. I prefer those to revenue bonds, don’t you? B.M.: I do. Does it issue have an AA rating? P.: Yes. And they can be had in five to ten-year maturities. They’re tax-exempt, you know. B.M.: Do you think we might also buy some stocks to keep our portfolio well diversified? P.: Well, we might. But stocks are much more speculative. B.M.: Unless we stick to blue chip issue.

The investment policy of a bank is based upon the reconciliation of two conflicting aims. On the one hand the bank wants to make as much profit as it can and for this reason it must take the risks of lending money. On the other hand its funds belong to its depositors and must be available whenever they wish to make withdrawals. There are two things that the bank must therefore do. First, it must keep a proportion of its assets in the form of cash to met demands. The amount that this needs to be varies very little from one bank to another or from one day to another and experience suggests that it is about six percent. As a cushion against unexpected demands a further proportion of funds is invested at low rates of return in highly liquid lending mostly to firms in the money and capital markets. The second thing that the bank must do is to ensure that the investments it chooses are safe. This also means that they are relatively low yielding since high yields are associated with risk and with lending for long periods of time. Much of a bank’s investment is in short and medium term government and local government bonds. They yield certain incomes and are readily saleable should the occasion demand. Advances by a bank to its customers are the least liquid of their assets since there are few borrowers who could repay a loan at very short notice. However, they are also the most profitable of them yielding the highest rate of return. Advances to customers are likely to account for more than two thirds of the banks investment portfolio although this will vary on a day to day basis since overdrafts are the most common form of advance and are not immediately controllable by the bank. In general banks do not lend to industry for long periods of time or for investment projects. They regard themselves as providing working capital rather than fixed capital. Questions on the text:
1. What two conflicting aims must a bank reconcile in its investment policy? 2. What must the bank do to be ready to meet demand for cash on the part of its customers? 3. Why does the bank prefer rather low yielding investments? 4. Which investments do usually yield high returns? 5. Which investments are hardly controllable by the bank? Why? 6. Why don’t banks usually invest in industrial projects? Exercise 1.

Student: What type of bank is this? Banker: We’re a commercial bank. S.: Does that mean that your services are limited? B.: To some extent. For instance, we can’t offer the fiduciary services that a trust company can. S.: What are they? B.: Well, they have to do with the administration of trust and estates. S.: Suppose I wanted to buy or sell some securities. Does your bank handle such transactions? B.: Yes, through our brokerage house. S.: Is your broker a member of the stock exchange? B.: Yes. S.: This is a state bank, isn’t it? B.: That’s right. S.: Do you offer fewer services that a national bank? B.: No. In general, the only difference is that a state bank gets its charter from the state it’s in, and the national bank gets its charter from the federal government in Washington, D.C. S.: Are there banks that don’t offer regular commercial services? B.: Oh, yes. For example Savings and Loan Associations and the Federal Land Banks are only lending institutions.

The reason for which the Bank of England was founded in 1694 was to look after the Government’s debt, commonly called the National Debt, and this is still a most important function. A large proportion of the debt is made up of Government bonds, that is pieces of paper stating that the holder has subscribed such-and-such a sum of money and is entitled to so much interest per year. Two world wars have helped to swell the issue of bonds to some $ 40,000 million. Another sizable slice of debt is in the form of Treasury bills which are rather like bonds with a very short life span before the Government buys them back again and so repays the loan. Their purpose is to provide the government with day-to-day money to cover the inevitable gaps which occur between its disbursements, e.g. on such things as unemployment benefit and its receipts from taxation. A third type of debt is the group of National Savings Securities, of which ordinary Post Office (now National Savings Bank) accounts and Premium Bonds are perhaps the best-known examples. The Bank of England is the ultimate source from which the general public can obtain cash. Other English banks used to issue their own notes, but now they all use the Bank of England notes. Scottish banks have continued to issue their own, but it is an expensive undertaking, and is closely controlled by the central bank in England. The Bank also looks after the bank account of the Government just like an ordinary bank does for its customers. Into this account go all tax receipts and any other transfers of money from the various banks, and out of it go all payments. Because all the important institutions in the City maintain accounts at the Bank, transfers of money between them and the Government, which go on every day, are made very easily. The Bank merely debits one account and credits another. The Bank also holds accounts for important international institutions like the World Bank, for just over a hundred central banks and also for some ordinary foreign banks, making a total of nearly two hundred accounts. The Exchange Equalisation Account is the name of the fund in which are held the gold and foreign currency reserves of the country. The managers of the fund have the task of intervening from time to time in the otherwise free market for foreign currency, so as to influence the price of the pound in line with Government policy, or simply to try to maintain a reasonable orderly market. The pound is not the only currency whose price has to be carefully controlled. Most of the major world currencies have the same problems, and all greatly benefit from international cooperation. Dealing with other central banks and managing money on an international scale has become an important side of the Bank’s work. Every month the Governor flies to Basle to spend a week-end in conference with his opposite numbers from the central banks of other western industrial countries. The object of the bank’s management in the monetary field is to support the Government’s activities in other fields, e.g. taxation policy, export promotion and so on. The methods of control used by the Bank are based on a system in which money available to be borrowed should be rationed by price, not by orders from the Bank or The Treasury. The Battery of instruments of control the bank has may be summarized as follows: 1. Suggestion and request.
From time to time the Bank will make suggestions to the other institutions in the City, indicating the policy the authorities intend to pursue. If they want specific action, the Government makes a “request” like the following: “Notice to banks. All banks and finance houses are asked not to provide either loans to person or check trading facilities for the purchase of…” 2. Open market operations.
This is the name given to the activities of the Bank in the financial market for control purposes. The point is that by its interventions the Bank can influence markets to move in the directions which it desires. 3. Special deposits and supplementary deposits.
From time to time, the Government may wish to reduce the amount of money that people can borrow in order to reduce the amount they spend. An effective way of doing this is to reduce what the banks have available foe lending, and this is done by requiring them to deposit more money at the Bank of England in special accounts from which it cannot be withdrawn until the Bank says so.

Interbank Relations in the USA
Student: How many correspondent bank accounts do you have? Banker: We have reserves in six banks. Two of the accounts are inactive. S.: Do you use any clearinghouse other than the Federal Reserve Bank? B.: Yes, we also get a daily letter from our central bank in St. Lawrence. S.: Are you allowed to make a collection charge on your items from your central bank? B.: No. We’re agreed to clear them at par. S.: Will your correspondent banks purchase any instalment loans that you’re not licensed to handle? B.: Yes, any that our customers are willing to endorse to them. S.: Do they advise you on your investments, like commercial papers and short-term debentures? B.: Oh, yes. And each week our New York correspondent sends us their report on financial and economic trends, including quotations on listed and unlisted stocks. S.: And they handle your foreign exchange? B.: That’s right. S.: Suppose I’m remitting by check on your bank an amount due on my note to a bank in California. Will that bank send the check directly to you for collection? B.: It could do that. But it’ll probably send the check through the regular channels. S.: What does that mean? B.: Well, the bank to which your check will send it to the Federal Reserve Bank in its Reserve District. The transit department of that bank will send it to the Federal Reserve Bank in our Reserve District. From there it’s sent to us. S.: How many Reserve Districts are there? B.: There are twelve, with one Reserve Bank in each District. Also, most of our lager banking institutions like ours are members of the System, and all checks and other items of exchange flowing through the System are cleared at par. S.: Par means face value? B.: Yes. And every bank that handles an item endorses it with recourse. S.: Does that mean that if a check isn’t honoured by the drawee bank, it’s finally returned to the payee, who is held liable for the amount? B.: That’s right. S.: To become member of the System, was your bank required to subscribe to any stock in the Reserve Bank in your District? B.: Yes. And, to explain further, all national banks must be members of the System. Incorporated State Banks, including commercial banks, mutual savings banks, trust companies and industrial banks, may join the System. S.: Other than handling items of exchange, what services do Federal Reserve Banks offer member banks? B.: As fiscal agents of the United State Treasury, they assist in the issue and redemption of government bonds and the refinancing of bonds that have reached maturity. They’ll also accept from us any paper that can be rediscounted, if our cash reserve becomes low. Questions on the dialogue:

The Discount Houses and the Money Market
Dotted about the City, but mostly close to the Bank of England are the eleven discount houses. These relatively small City businesses make their living by borrowing money from those who have it to spare and investing it in various easily liquidated paper assets. In particular, they finance the Government by buying its Treasury bills each week. To the Bank of England this “covering” of the weekly Treasury bill issue by the discount houses is a useful service. The quid pro quo
of this arrangement is that the Bank of England will act as “lender of the last resort” to the houses, if it so chooses, or buy paper assets from the houses to provide them with cash when they can’t obtain it elsewhere. To understand the role of lender of last resort it is necessary first to have grasped the extremely delicate nature of the discount houses’ business. Practically all the money which they invest has itself been lent to them. What is more, most of it will have been lent to them for very short periods of time like a week or even overnight, or else it will be subject to recall at very short notice. Using this sort of money, the houses purchase bills and even bonds in the open market, some of which might not be repurchased or redeemed from them for months or years. This practice is known as “borrowing short and lending long” and can be hazardous. Should those who have lent to the houses recall their money, the houses would have some difficulty getting it back in a hurry. On any given day, each house will find some of its assets falling due for repayment and will also receive new loans, but it quite often happens that the proceeds of these transactions are insufficient to provide for all the calls that are made that day by those who have lent to the house. It is then that the Bank may help in one of a variety of ways. In particular, it may offer to buy back some Treasury bills to provide the necessary money, or it may lend the required sum charging at least the minimum lending rate. This rate is defined as the lowest rate at which the Bank of England will lend and is fixed each week a little above the Treasury bill rate for that week. The chief sources for cash for the discount houses – often known collectively as the discount market – are the banks, particularly the commercial banks. These are the ordinary High Street banks with which we are all familiar. Their business requires them to hold a certain proportion of the money which the general public has deposited with them in a liquid form, that is in the form of cash or some assets which can be turned into cash quickly and without losing its value. For example, a building or something like that is not a liquid asset because it takes time to sell, a quick sale can only be achieved if the owner is prepared to see it go at a knockdown price. Loans to the discount market are ideal from the point of view of the commercial or any other type of bank. They can be at an agreed rate for an agreed period, although it can be for as short as they like, in which case the houses call them “fixtures”, or they can be simply “at call”, again at an agreed rate, and then they can be withdrawn whenever the lender needs them. An important part of the job of the money manager in a discount house is to make sure that he has the right balance between fixtures and call money. If there is general trend in the market for rates of interest to rise so that borrowers have to pay more this week than last and will have to pay more next week than this, it is in the interests of the house to persuade institutions to lend to it for fixed periods. Otherwise call money will be quickly withdrawn and offered back to them again at a higher rate. Similarly, when the rate in the market is rising, the houses themselves take care not to make too many long-term loans, the rate of interest on which will soon fall below the general market rate. The houses that can judge best which way things will go make the greatest profit. Questions on the text

Read the text
: Compared to selling in the domestic market, selling abroad can create extra problems. Delivery generally takes longer and payment for goods correspondingly can take more time. So exporters need to take extra care in ensuring that prospective customers are reliable payers and that payment is received as quickly as possible. In the first and in the last analysis, payment for exports depends on the conditions outlined in the commercial contract with a foreign buyer. As explained previously, there are internationally accepted terms designed to avoid confusion about cost and price. The way exporters choose to be paid depends on a number of factors: the usual contract terms adopted in an overseas buyer’s country, what competitors may be offering, how quickly funds are needed, the life of the product, market and exchange regulations, the availability of foreign currency to the buyers, and, of course, whether the cost of any credit can be afforded by the buyer or the exporter. There are four basic methods of payment providing varying degrees of security for the exporter: 1) payment in advance, 2) open account, 3) Bills of Exchange, 4) Documentary Letter of Credit. I. Payment in advance
. Clearly the best possible method of payment for the exporter is payment in advance. Cash with order (CWO) avoids any risks on small orders with new buyers and may even be asked for before production begins. However, this form of payment is extremely rare in exporting since it means that an overseas buyer is extending credit to an exporter – when the opposite procedure is the normal method of trade. Variations in this form of payment are cash on delivery (COD) where small value goods are sent by Post Office parcel post and are released only after payment of the invoice plus COD charges. II.
Open account.
An exporter receives the greatest security of payment from cash with order or from cash on delivery. At the other extreme payment on open account offers the least security to an exporter. The goods and accompanying documents are sent directly to an overseas buyer who has agreed to pay within a certain period after the invoice date – usually not more then 180 days. The buyer undertakes to remit money to the exporter by an agreed method. The open account method of payment is increasingly popular within the EEC because it is simple and straightforward. 70 per cent of UK exports are paid for under open account terms. It saves money and procedural difficulties but the risk to the exporter is obviously greater. It is only successful if an exporter trusts the business integrity and ability of an overseas buyer, something that has probably been established through a sustained period of trading. A variation of open account payment is the consignment account where an exporter supplies an overseas buyer in order that stocks are built in quantities sufficient to cover continual demand. The exporter retains ownership of the goods until they are sold, or for an agreed period of time, after which the buyer remits the agreed price to the exporter. However, a large proportion of export contracts cannot be settled by payment in advance or by open account, particularly with sales outsides the EEC. So, parallel with the development of international trade throughout the world, the trading community has developed methods of payments which involve the transfer of documents for exported goods using the international banking system – with the aim of speedily settling export transaction at minimum risk to exporters and to overseas buyers. Answer the following questions
: 1. Why does selling abroad create extra problems as compared to selling in the domestic market? 2. What helps to avoid misunderstandings in payment for exports? 3. What factors does the choice of a method of payment depend on? 4. Which method of payment provides the best/greatest security for the exporter? 5. Why is payment in advance of order not frequently used in exporting? 6. Which method of payment offers the least security to an exporter? 7. If the open account method offers so little security to an exporter, why is it becoming more and more popular? 8. When does an exporter agree to deliver goods on open account? 9. How does the consignment account operate? 10. Besides payment in advance and by open account, what other methods of payment has the trading community worked out? Exercise 2.

Read the text
: An exporter can send a bill of exchange for the value of the invoice of goods for export through the banking system for payment by an overseas buyer on presentation. A bill of exchange is legally defined as “an unconditional order in writing, addressed by one person to another, signed by the person giving it, requiring the person to which it is addressed to pay on demand or at a fixed or determinable future time a certain sum of money, to or to the order of a specified person, or to the bearer”. In other words an exporter prepares a bill of exchange which is drawn on an overseas buyer, or even on a third party as designated in the export contract, for the sum agreed at settlement. The bill is called a sight draft if it is made out payable at sight i.e. “on demand”. If it is payable “at a fixed or determinable future time” it is called a term draft, because the buyer is receiving a period of credit, known as the tenor of the bill. The buyer signs an agreement to pay on the due date by writing an acceptance across the face of the bill. By using a bill of exchange with other shipping documents through the banking system, an exporter can ensure greater control of the goods, because until the bill is paid or accepted by the overseas buyer the goods cannot be released. Conversely, the buyer does not have to pay or agree to pay by some agreed date until delivery of the goods from the exporter. An exporter can pass a bill of exchange to a bank in the UK. The UK bank forwards the bill to its overseas branch or to a correspondent bank in an overseas buyer’s country. This bank, known as the collecting bank, presents the bill to whomever it is drawn upon, for immediate payment if it is a sight draft, or for acceptance if it is a term draft. This procedure is known as a clean bill collection because there are no shipping documents required. Clean bill collections have become more popular, particularly in some European countries where the method is also used in internal trade. Also such collections provide more security than open account terms if there is some doubt about a buyer’s financial status. However, it is more likely that bills are used in a documentary collection method of payment. In this case, an exporter sends the bill to the buyer through the banking system with the shipping documents, including the document of title to the goods, i.e. an original bill of lading. The bank then releases the documents on payment or acceptance of the bill by the overseas buyer. An exporter can even use the banking system for a cash against documents (CAD) collection. In this case only the shipping documents are sent and the exporter instructs the bank to release them only after payment by the overseas buyer. This method is used in some European countries whose buyers often prefer CAD to a sight draft if the exporter insist on a documentary collection for settlement of the export contract. In all the methods of payment using a bill of exchange, a promissory note can be used as an alternative. This is issued by a buyer who promises to pay an exporter a certain amount of money within a specified time. It is even possible to send the documents and bill of exchange directly to an overseas buyer’s bank, by passing the UK bank. This system of direct collection is widely supported by US banks, but it dispenses with the help of the UK bank whose aid can be invaluable if something goes wrong in the collection. For example, there could be excessive shipping delays so that a buyer may refuse to accept or pay a draft on presentation. In this situation the UK bank can act as the exporter’s agent by arranging the warehousing of the goods or their reshipment, or even disposing of them at auction to recoup any outlay. An overseas buyer may deliberately default on a term bill or just go bankrupt. In either case the UK bank can arrange legal action or act on instructions to initiate protests, i.e. engage a notary public in the buyer’s country to deliver a “notice of dishonour” to the defaulter, thus preparing a likely settlement in favour of the exporter if matter have to go to court.

Banks in Britain
. The biggest banks of the United Kingdom are the Bank of England, Lloyds’ Bank, Barclays Bank, and the National Westminster Bank. The Bank of England is the state or national bank, which controls the British banking system. Like any other national bank, it issues banknotes and mints coins. The other four banks are commercial banks. Very often they are called “The Big Four”. The National Westminster Bank is often referred to as “NatWest”. Moscow Narodny Bank Ltd. is incorporated as a British registered company. It specializes in the finance of East – West trade. Their close working relationship with banks in East – European countries and in the West enables them to provide a unique service in this field. The First Bankers in Britain
. The first bankers in Britain were Italians who came to do business in the City of London a few centuries ago. They came from Lombardy, a region in Northern Italy where there was a group of independent cities. This group was called the Lombard League. The Lombards settled down in the part of the City of London which was later called after those Italians, Lombard Street. The Lombards did not stay in London long. After a century or so they left London because they were made bankrupt. It happened mostly because they loaned money to kings who did not repay the loans. So the Lombards left, but their mane is still alive in London. Lombard Street is still the centre of British banking. This is the street where the head offices of the biggest English and foreign banks are located. SWIFT and Banks.
SWIFT, the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications, is a non-profit making bank-owned, cooperative society. It was set up in Brussels in 1973 and now it has more than a thousand member banks in more than fifty countries. SWIFT is a service organization which processes and transmits banking transactions electronically between member banks on all the five continents. Electronic systems transfer large sums around the world quickly and effectively. In this way a new type of international banking is being established. But payment procedures in international trade still rely heavily on paper-based documents. And specialists say that one day all the data of invoices, shipping documents, various receipts and other documents will be provided in computer from instead. No paper documents will be used any longer. All the information will be sent electronically. This will certainly lead to a lot of technical problems. Bank Holidays in the UK
. An official public holiday in the UK (on a day other than Saturday and Sunday) when all banks are closed, as well as most factories and shops is called “a bank holiday”. At present the following days are bank holidays in England and Wales: New Year’s Day (or the first working day after it) Good Friday, May Day Bank Holiday (the first Monday in May), Spring Bank Holiday (the last Monday in May), August Bank Holiday (the last Monday in August), Christmas Day (or the Monday after it, if it falls on a Saturday or Sunday), Boxing Day (or the next working day following Boxing Day). There are some other bank holidays in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Most of the British holidays are of religious origin, as the word “holy-day” says. But nowadays they have long lost their religious significance for the greater part of the British population and are simply days on which people relax, eat, drink and enjoy themselves. SECTION
