commercial bank is a financial institution designed to act as a safe depository and lender for many commercial activities (usually short-term loans or lines of credit). Commercial banks rely heavily on demand deposits-checking accounts-for their basic supply of loanable funds, although they also receive capital from savings accounts, loans from other banks, short-term loan interest and the equity invested by their owners. (See line of credit).
