A Bank By Any Other Name...
Economic Perspectives

Abstract
Banks come in a wide variety of forms. These include commercial banks, savings banks, savings and loans, and credit unions. But, all banks are not perceived as equally vital to the economy so as to require the same degree of government regulation to promote their safe and efficient operation. To regulate efficiently, it is necessary to carefully define the entity to be regulated.
