Abstract

Banks are not in business for the buying and selling of goods. A bank’s business is concerned with receiving, paying and the transfer of money. A bank has personal ledgers, and each customer has a separate account. When a customer pays money into the bank, that sum of money is placed at the credit side of the customer’s account. When a customer withdraws money the account in the books of the bank is debited.
