Banking Explained - Money and Credit

Banks are a riddle wrapped up in an enigma. We all kind of know that they do stuff with money we don’t understand, while the last crisis left a feeling of deep mistrust and confusion. We try to shed a bit of light onto the banking system. Why were banks invented, why did they cause the last crisis and are there alternatives?

i feel bad for this comment thread... As someone studying Financial Management in a master's degree right now i can say, you did a good job of explaining! Most people here in the comments have no actual idea of how the financial market works and just repeat the same triggerwords, just like in politics. Needless to say, everyone in this thread thats bitching about banks, has surely their own bankaccount. If you are that much agaist it, dont spit out insults, do something productive!

[@NicholasBall130]

I'm deeply concerned about the current banking situation. The thought of a bank as large as SVB failing worries me greatly. A close friend who manages a rapidly expanding startup experienced significant setbacks due to a recent bank run. As a precaution, I've withdrawn over $840,000 from my bank. However, with FDIC coverage limited to $250,000, I'm aware that a potential collapse could have serious repercussions. Given these circumstances, I'm considering investing in the stock market. Any suggestions on how I should proceed?

[@EleanorBaker474]

You're not doing anything wrong, you just don't have the required skillset to profit off a down market, folks that are making profit in this market are pros and experts with in-depth knowledge and skillset.

Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2020, and I return at least $30k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

[@SamuelDurkin]

The explanation of bank lending is wrong.. banks lend more far far more money than they have on deposit. It's called fractional reserve banking. Essentially when you take a loan out, most of the money you get is created out of thin air, and it's your promise to pay it back with interest that brings it into existence. This is of course gives banks huge power.

[@KamilsView]

+Samuel Durkin (Artist Paintings) Shame they did not say that in the video.

[@mutton_man]

that is a big and bad part of banking that has been left out of this video. fractional banking accelerates our busts and booms.

[@joel9240]

+Samuel Durkin (Artist Paintings) If I had to guess this wasn't mentioned because the idea was to make the concept as simple as possible.

[@mutton_man]

+Joel Nichols but the main process of how money and credit is created is fractional banking. 97% of all money is created is from fractional banking. so it's quite a big thing to miss out when explaining how banks work.

[@jmitterii2]

+Mutton Man The reason why it tends to work is that this new money being lent into existence is going toward both supply investment to make new stuff and/or demand in getting financing a car so you can get to work and do other things you want to do with a car or bike or whatever item. It helps expand the money supply while expanding both supply of stuff and helping demand as well, when both quantity of supplies increase and quantity of goods demanded increase, the overall economy grows, meaning more people have a chance to improve their standard of living. That's the basic concept. The downside to fractional banking is that it can increase risk to banks on default should their be a run on their bank and depositors flee, hence why FDIC was created after the 1929 crash, and also why regulations that put a firewall against investment highly speculative banking and deposit banking. Unfortunately in 2000, the republicans in congress signed by Democrat Clinton in the US repealed this firewall protection. And just 7 years later, we had a meltdown and runs on banks in the US. Also, it didnt' help that new risky financial instruments were never and still are not regulated like credit default swaps. From early 1990's finance sector was only 5.5% of GDP, by 2006 it had grown to over 8% of GDP, financing to be efficient should be too expensive, so it rising in GDP means it cuts other sectors' shear of GDP in producing tangible goods and services.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: This was a video sponsored by the lovely (and patient!) folks at PSCU, thanks again for the support! What does this mean? It means that we got funding for doing this topic sooner than we would have done otherwise - the sponsor had no influence over the content of the video! This video represents our own research and opinion on the topic. This video is a bonus video, on top of our regular uploads. The reason I’m posting this here is that we want to be super up front and honest about sponsorships - we do want to make videos that entertain you and that help make the world a little bit more awesome. But it is impossible to sustain ourselves with the youtube channel - we are too many people and the videos take too long to produce. So we will do sponsorships to make this KZbin channel more sustainable from time to time. How is this gonna work: Sponsors can pay us to do certain topics, or to have their project features at the end of the video (like the audible adds lots of STEM channels do). But the scripts will not be approved by a sponsor. Everything we tell you is researched by us. We are in the explaining stuff business, not in the advertisement business (well, ok, you can hire us to produce a video - but it won’t go up on our youtube channel). If you have questions or comments please tell us, total transparency is super important for us. And if you want to help us get 100% independent from sponsors, you can support us directly at Patron: bit.ly/1NOxZ7p. Our ultimate goal is doing youtube and similar projects full time, for you guys and because it is so much fun. Thank you for reading this far! - Philipp

We fail to realize that banks are commercial enterprises that are driven by greed as well. The over-leveraging of assets by banks starting in 2020 was one of the factors that led to SVB's collapse.

A lot of complicated mathematics came from accounting and banking since keeping track of numbers is very important for making a buck in those industries.

How could you talk about the modern banking system without even mentioning fractional reserve? In 2008 Citibank had more than $60 lent out for every $1 in deposits. The issue wasn't just bad loans, it was tonnes of bad loans made with "virtual money"; money created out of thin air (though to be fair in our fiat currency system all money is made from thin air).

[@gg_rider]

Fractional Reserve credit *does not exist* because banks do not lend out funds they *have* or "possess", not full reserves, nor a "fraction" of reserves. Reserve accounts are practically unrelated to lending and impose no limits whatsoever. Reserves are for overnight clearing of checks, *not* loans. Loans *create* deposits which create more reserves. Capitalism works by contracts. Banks create loans by creating contracts. Contracts with numbers have some rough value, a price that may have variance in value due to expected risks plus the over all social and market environment. Banks create loans by creating pairs of contracts, called Balance Sheet expansion. Creating pairs of contracts, one incoming (assets, received over time), the other outgoing (liabilities, now) (a bank account balance or check is a liability of the banking system owed to depositor or borrower) --- nothing is per se "illegal" about that -- and so long as Capitalism (myth and actual) allows persons and corporations to own property, including property such as contracts, with unlimited property rights, then nothing but sound central bank regulations (incl Dodd Frank, etc, much more could be done) vs "lassez faire" prevents banks from creating as much credit with as much risk as they choose to maximize profits ... with the theory that risks are totally eliminated by clever exotic contracts and securitization ... and with the implicit understanding that if the executives totally destroy the institutions with bad loans, while paying themselves record profits and bonuses in the short term, the US govt will rescue the institutions .. but not investigate and not prosecute the tricky financial fraudsters. Warren Mosler published a set of reforms for Treasury, Fed, and Banks. Some of those, rather than regulate some of the more useless and predatory aspects of finance, simply ban those completely, while still permitting commercial banks to conduct routine commercial banking, and risk mgmt and allocation, as the public utility that they actually are.

[@gg_rider]

Ikreisrond the question, is a contract virtual or real? a contract isn't physical. A car title isn't a car. A house title isn't a house. The paper isn't "virtual". Money amounts to a contract and a ledger entry. You can spend ledger entries by ordering your entries sent to another party's ledger. Money is INFORMATION.

[@gg_rider]

Ikreisrond so you are saying that everything intelligent that separates human beings from animals is "not real". Human invention and engineering is "not real". Human language is "not real". "Family" is "not real", just individual bodies with some common DNA. Love is "not real". Honor is "not real". The internet is "not real". Software is "not real". Music is "not real". Legal contracts are "not real". Property ownership laws are "not real". OK, great.

[@gg_rider]

Ikreisrond I didn't "put words in your mouth", I expanded w hyperbole the idea that anything that is intangible is "not real" or "made up" as a bad illegitimate thing, when most useful things about human existence is "made up" at some point and how huge swaths of the landscape of our human lives are symbolic. Moreso since we've progressed beyond primitive hunter-gatherer survival through early agriculture to modern society. We don't eat for pure nourishment, we do all kinds of fancy stuff w labels, and often want it served with wine by an attractive person operating on certain symbolic customs. Rather than a single Folk Wagen, we have 1000 different styles and features of automobiles, sold largely as an extension of our ego and image as well as comfort and security. Finance trades the volume of the entire US annual GDP every day via computers and internet. I could go on. So "money" consisting of accounting records that indicate property ownership of nominal units of value & credit, assets & liabilities, is totally consistent w human existence.

[@TheBloodyHarvest]

@@tubularG They don't own the money they lend out, if theres 2 people each with 10 euro in their account, and someones comes and asks for 20 euro loan the bank basically grabs the 20 euro from the people, lends it to the person in hopes of getting 25 euro back due to interests, then deposites the 20 euro back into the person bank and pay them interest, let's say 1 euro and they keep the 3 euro they just made for free by lending out the money they didn't own in the first place. The person with who's money is grabbed doesn't see a chance because that'd be too apparent. That's how people can lose money if the bank goes bankrupt, cause they used all of your money and they have nothing to give back.

Banks CREATE money when lending out money! This is a fact not many people know or understand.

The creation of money is explained in this video. The bank stores money from people which it lends to other people. That's a way banks can create money, as suddenly there is double as much money. Inflation is also a good thing, without inflation people wouldn't consume, and without consummation there is no money circulation, which in the end means there is no progress. The video you mentioned also doesn't address the fact that taxes are a redistribution of money between the rich and the poor.

michbushi 90% (9/10) or some other fraction of money is lent, while some amount (1/10 usually) is kept as a "reserve." The determination of how much is kept and how much is lent is made by calculating things like probability of default, amount of money that might be withdrawn on / defaulted at any one time, etc. Anyway, after the 2008 crisis, the Fed now requires banks to keep much large reserves in the event of large defaults and loss of liquidity.

[@SaintBrick]

We don't use the fractional reserve system any more, and reserve requirements only apply to checking accounts for the most part. The main practical limits are capital requirements. While reserve and capital requirements might help in a crisis when liquidity is needed, it's not going to do much about banks making bad loans and doing things that lead up to a crash.

Dimitri, what portion of subprime mortgages was held by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in 2008? I believe it was was well under half, more like 30%. So you give a pass on the other 70% because it doesn't fit the agenda you are pushing. Yes, it was gambling, they all were. BofA was leveraged out to something like 50:1. I know the right likes to claim that a law requiring non-discrimination in loans is at fault, but that law didn't require giving out bad loans, just they not discriminate on the basis of race.

[@DimitrisAndreou]

I don't know the ratio, but I'm surprised if the 30% ratio is accurate, you talk about it as peanuts, this is a huge manipulation of the market. I assume you remember the wrong number, but regardless. Put on top the mandates around discrimination, which very much reduce the standards for loan-giving. Reduced downside, cheap money, more incentives to take risk, what would be the result? Oh, I guess we can always blame the profit incentive ("greed") of the private players, even if that was forever there. Maybe their "super greed" genes were mysteriously activated, who knows, some cosmic radiation excited them.

[@pashapiro3432]

It's also worth mentioning that, acting as the lender of last resort, the Federal Reserve allows credit expansion far beyond what a natural market would ever allow. In a competitive system, banks have to use this unlimited leverage to find investments, and that always leads to poor investments, because there's only so much demand out there for the final produce of those investments. If the Fed didn't exist, credit expansion like this would be impossible and bubbles would also be impossible.

thanks for posting this. if you dig deeper on fractional reserve banking it gets crazier!

I have 2 chapter 13’s that are dismissed. The reason I have 2 is bcz I did not use an attorney. I was trying to stop an eviction, but when I went to try to add another month’s rent to the bankruptcy, but the guy filed another one. About a month later, I ended up losing my job. They are scheduled to fall off in January and March 2021. Since I’m looking to purchase a home soon but still there. I am currently enrolled in *850 Financial assessment* and I must say, I am loving it thus far. I’m doubling it up with your podcast videos and learning A LOT! Thank you. I’m ready to join the millionaire club!!!

[@TheRealSkeletor]

I don't understand. Why bail out banks to stop them from going bankrupt? If a bank makes terrible decisions which land it billions of dollars in debt, why not let it take the fall and have to answer for that debt itself?

[@antonioaristidepapa3093]

banco is the italian for table, because banks did their operations over tables, not on benches lmao.

[@GoogleGebruiker]

Antonio Papa close enough

[@raymondramsay3035]

Middle English: from Old Norse bakki, of Germanic origin; related to bench. The senses ‘set of things in rows’ and ‘tier of oars’ are from French banc, of the same ultimate origin. Google it first. Baal pakna papa sala

[@freespiritable]

Yup a quick research on the internet and my Petit Robert confirm it. Initially i thought 6 centuries appart might have modified the meaning but nah, they actually meant tables over which they did exchanges.

[@5yearsago404]

Antonio Papa what's the difference

[@xellos5262]

Well in german it's the exakt name for bench. So maybe the language changed, or it was just taken from german language. Lets face it, german words sound better than italian :>

Hi from Italy! Your videos are awesome but "banco" doesn't really mean banch in italian. xD It means table! Banch = "panchina".

[@S9V9G3]

he probably meant spain and not italy.. or he probably did make a mistake xD

[@JackWiizard]

Banks are not born in Spain :/

[@S9V9G3]

Dino B. Then he made a mistake xd

[@Angryp0nY]

There is a certain way Italian was spoken, that it no longer sounds the same as today. As recently as the massive immigration of Italian and Sicilian nationals to the US. A lot of people think the Italians spoken in the US is "Americanized" when in reality, it was the way people spoke Italian. It was isolated into it's own communities and never evolved the way that it did in Italy.

[@ramiel01]

The word was coined (forgive the pun) in the 15th century. Old Italian got the word from Germanic language banka - bench or table.

I like how people think that if we somehow go back to the way things were, that things won't simply repeat itself. This is a systemic failure, not a failure of policy.

Harvey Rabbit I'm an anarcho-syndicalist. I don't think policy has the power to limit capital.

[@michalchik]

No Sorry, this was how banking worked in the US BEFORE the federal reserve act of 1913 and the development of other central banks in western countries in the 17th and 18th centuries. Now the lending of savers money is incidental to the banks function which is the issuance of currency in the form of loans through double entry book-keeping. This has caused important changes in the way banks operate and the kind of risks they take as well as the distribution of financial capital in the economy. This video is a couple centuries out of date and represents a faulty understanding of how the financial crisis developed and how it was ameliorated.

[@nosuchthing8]

michalchik If a 1000 people deposit 5000 on one day, they banks doesn't sit on the the 5M. they lend it out. Hence how they make money.

[@michalchik]

nosuchthing8 Actually, no, that is not how lending works today. That was what it was like before the central banks and the federal reserve act over a century ago. The bank is allowed to write loans through a process called double entry book keeping at a multiplier of their credit limit set by the central banks. No money is taken from the bank from lenders. It is simply giving the borrower credit. This limit is set by a combination of the the strong money deposit by the bank at its foundation, the reserve multiplier set by teh central bank, the credit created by the policy makers of the central bank, and lastly the discounted deposits of savers. Basically 95% of the money in circulation was never printed. It was the product of credit extended by banks in teh form of loans with nothing backing it, and only limited by federal reserve policy. I am a math teacher that has been studying economics for years and I found this confusing. I used to think that was the way it worked, but no. Its not like banks are a clearing house for lending savings, they are a clearing house for money creation de novo from federal reserve policy. Their role as a place to put savings is very small. That is why the federal reserve prime rate so tightly controls what the interest rate is for bank loans. If the banks got their money from savers, it would be the interest rate they were paying savers that would dictate the bank rate.

[@nosuchthing8]

michalchik The money IS loaned out. Or at least most of it. Simply google CNN money. Focus your mind on the question posed to you, again : 1 thousand people walk into the bank with 5k in cash. Where does the money go? Answer : Most is loaned out.

[@michalchik]

nosuchthing8 Please explain how the amount of money saved has been dropping at the same time the amount of money loaned out has been increasing globally. Please explain why the Federal reserve prime rate sets the bottom limit of what lender can loan out to their borrowers, rather than the interest rate that the savers pay. You have a grade school understanding of this system; it does not work that way anymore. The advent of central banks changed everything. Here is an official statment from teh Bank of England; it works pretty much the same way in the US. I know its hard to believe, but it does not work the way it should. "Whenever a bank makes a loan, it simultaneously creates a matching deposit in theborrower’s bank account, thereby creating new money. The reality of how money is created today differs from the description found in some economics textbooks: • Rather than banks receiving deposits when households save and then lending them out, bank lending creates deposits. www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Documents/quarterlybulletin/2014/qb14q1prereleasemoneycreation.pdf

[@nosuchthing8]

michalchik Find ONE source that says banks don't lend out the depositor money. ONE. Otherwise have nice day. I can send you then that ay they DO. Google glass steigall, the law (that was overturned) that PREVENTED banks from gambling with depositor money. Why overturn a law and then not run with it? SIGH.
