Banking or Other Financial Services

About the Banking or Other Financial Services heading in Yellow Pages®

Financial service providers offer banking, advisory and investment, and funds management services to consumers and businesses. Banking and financial services consist of banks, credit unions, financial brokers and underwriters, insurance companies and organisations which provide other financial services such as financial planning and accounting.

Banks offer services to customers such as savings and investment accounts, borrowing, and financial planning. Savings and investment accounts earn variable interest which is calculated on the balance over time. Term deposits provide customers with a fixed interest rate for a predetermined period, and brokerage facilities offer money trading services. Borrowing services can include personal loans, mortgage accounts and credit cards.

Customers utilise banking services by visiting a bank in person, or via telephone or internet banking. An online bank service is also known as a net bank; a method of banking where customers use the internet to access their financial information. Utilising online banking, customers can review their accounts, pay bills or transfer funds to another account.

Financial planners are used by clients to assist them with setting up their financial future. Trained in the field of financial planning, they assess their clients’ needs in the short and long term and provide information and advice in the form of a financial plan.
