Explanation of Solution

Banks make money from the following ways:

  1. From loans: Banks make money by providing loans as they earn interests from loans such as auto loans, business loans, personal loans, or mortgages. Banks accept money from depositors and lend the money out to borrowers to earn money by charging a high interest rate on borrowings.
  2. From service fees: Banks also make money by charging non-interest fee for their services such as monthly account fees that bank charges when a depositor opens a bank account. Moreover, bank makes money by charging certain other additional fees such as credit card fees to provide a credit card to customers, custodian fees or brokerage for taking care of customers’ investment, and investment management fees to direct customers’ investments.
