A bank is afinancial institutionand afinancial intermediarythat acceptsdepositsand channels those

deposits intolendingactivities, either directly or throughcapital markets. A bank connects customers

that have capital deficits to customers with capital surpluses.

Due to their critical status within thefinancial systemand the economy[citation needed]

generally, banks are

highly regulatedin most countries. Most banks operate under a system known asfractional reservebankingwhere they hold only a smallreserveof the funds deposited and lend out the rest for profit.

They are generally subject tominimum capital requirementswhich are based on an international set of

capital standards, known as theBasel Accords.

The oldest bank still in existence isMonte dei Paschi di Siena, headquartered inSiena,Italy, which has

been operating continuously since 1472.[1]
