Description

Gerald Klein from the University of London explains that a "bank" in the UK is any institution, whether a company or not, recognized by the Bank of England under the Banking Act of 1987. These banks are authorized to accept deposits as defined by this law. Interestingly, unlike some countries, the UK doesn't have a specific legal definition of what makes a business a "bank" or who qualifies as a "banker.''

Klein's explanation highlights how banks in the UK must meet strict criteria set out in the Banking Act of 1987 to operate legally. This law ensures that institutions handling deposits meet certain standards to protect people's money and maintain trust in the financial system.

In summary, Klein's insights shed light on the varied roles and regulatory challenges faced by banks in the UK. His analysis emphasizes the importance of clear rules to ensure banks operate safely and responsibly, maintaining stability and public confidence in the financial industry.
