Answer:
A commercial bank provides services such as accepting deposits, making business loans, and offering basic investment products that is operated as a business for profit.
A savings bank has a primary purpose which is accepting savings deposits and paying interest on those deposits.
Step-by-step explanation:
Commercial banks are owned and managed by a board of directors selected by stockholders. Many commercial banks are large, multinational corporations.
S&Ls (Savings and Loan banks- just another name) are owned and chartered differently than commercial banks, and are generally more locally oriented in terms of customers.
By law, S&Ls may lend up to 20% of their assets for commercial loans, and only half of that can be used for small business loans. S&L must be able to show that 65% of its assets are invested in residential mortgages and other consumer-related assets.
Commercial banks do not have these types of limitations that S&L banks do.
