BANKING SYSTEM OF THE UK

1. In the beginning of the twentieth century banking system of the UK had two levels and comprises:

• the first level: Bank of England, the central bank;

• the second level: deposit banks, credit and merchant banks, credit intermediaries, clearing houses.

2. The Bank of England had a number of special privileges, particularly with regard to issue of notes, which helped to establish and strengthen its position in its association with the Government. The Bank assumed responsibility for the integrity of the banking system in the later years of the nineteenth century. In other words the Bank undertook to ensure good practice and public confidence in the banks. There was a real need for this undertaking, because there had been losses of confidence in several large banks.

3. A major collapse in the banking system was averted by the Bank of England lending money to banks which were having difficulty meeting their commitments to lenders and depositors. It is this function which helped to establish the Bank of England's role as the central bank. In our century the British banking system has changed a little.

4. Nowadays nearly every country with market-oriented economy has two-level banking system, where the central bank functions at the first level, and commercial banks - at the second level. Today there are following types of commercial banks in UK.

5. Deposit banks. The group includes the largest present day banks, so called clearing banks, prevailing in acceptance of deposits and provision of credit - Barclay's Bank, Lloyd's Bank, Midland Bank and National Westminster Bank. They are the basis of the banking system of the UK. They are often called retail banks.

6. Merchant banks. They are wide-spread over the country and have old traditions. They are essentially smaller in size than clearing banks. The merchant banks provide a range of special services for customers, mainly in the industrial and commercial sectors; perform in the sphere of foreign trade and international financial-credit operations.

7. Foreign Banks. Foreign Banks refer to large bank groups according to figures in their balance sheets. There are about four hundred and fifty foreign banks.
