Types of financial institutions: banks vs non-banks

The lesson states financial institutions can be divided into two main types:

• Banks
• Non-banks

Banks (sub-categories emphasized)

Central bank

• Identified as Bank of Thailand.

  • Preserve financial stability
  • Prevent financial crises
  • Maintain the country’s monetary system
  • (General idea) manage currency and stability-related functions
• It is described as independent from being a direct government agency, yet under control/supervision of relevant ministries.

Commercial banks

• Explained as banks that:
  • Provide deposit-taking
  • Offer loans
  • Provide general banking services to the public/businesses
• Clarification:
  • “Commercial” is a category, not necessarily tied to the name of Siam Commercial Bank.

Specialized banks

• Defined as banks established to perform a specialized financial function (not general banking).
• Examples discussed:
  • BAAC — supports farmers/agricultural needs
  • Government Housing Bank (GHB) — housing-related loans/services
  • Islamic Bank of Thailand — provides services according to Islamic principles (for Muslims, but not necessarily exclusively)
  • SME Development Bank — assistance/advice for SMEs
  • EXIM Bank — supports export/import activities (trade financing)
• The lesson stresses these are purpose-built for specific groups/needs (farmers, housing buyers, trade, SMEs, etc.).

Non-banks (financial institutions that are not banks)

The video describes several non-bank examples:

• Stock Exchange (SET)
  • Facilitates buying/selling shares and connects owners/investors.
• Insurance companies
  • Insurance products may include savings components.
• Credit companies
  • Provide credit-related services (example mentioned: “Foncier”).
• Pawnshops (treated as non-bank lending with collateral)
  • Key mechanism: borrowing money using an object as collateral
  • To recover the item, the borrower repays (including interest).
