Banks are financial institutions that hold money in deposit for their customers, and provide other valuable financial services. They are by definition "for profit" entities, whereas credit unions provide similar services, but are "non-profit" entities. Some of the other financial services that these institutions provide are personal loans, car loans, home mortgages, credit cards, debit cards, certificates of deposit, and more.
The most common types of accounts you can open at a bank are a personal savings, personal checking, business savings, business checking, and money market accounts. These are all pretty self explanatory, but only money market accounts and savings accounts tend to pay interest to their depositors.
Many banks have moved away from physical infrastructure in recent years, and have been investing heavily in their online customer portals. These allow banks to provide secure products and services to their customers without having the customer come into the bank physically.
