Universal Bank
A universal bank is a type of bank which participates in many kinds of banking activities and is both a commercial bank and an investment bank as well as providing other financial services such as insurance. These are also called full-service financial firms, although there can also be full-service investment banks which provide wealth and asset management, trading, underwriting, researching as well as financial advisory.

In other countries, the concept is less relevant as there was no regulatory distinction between inv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
