The development of savings business can, to a certain extent, promote the adjustment of the proportion and structure of the national economy, gather funds for economic construction, stabilize market prices, regulate the circulation of money, guide consumption, and help the masses arrange their lives. Different from China, the common concept of savings in western economics is that savings is the part of monetary income that has not been used for consumption.

In a broad sense, loans refer to loans, discounts, overdrafts and other loans. The centralized currency and monetary capital invested by banks through loans can meet the needs of the society to expand reproduction for supplementary funds and promote economic development; At the same time, banks can also obtain loan interest income from this, increasing their own accumulation.

Charge card is similar to credit card, but there is no revolving credit. The monthly bill amount must be paid in full. The limit of charge card is usually much higher than that of credit card, and its annual fee and card issuing standard are also higher than that of credit card.
