Banks create money by earning a profit.
• Required Reserves. the minimum amount of money the banks must hold by law. This point is states that a bank must hold a certain percentage of the money that their customers deposited in case they want to withdraw some money back. 
• Excess Reserves. Banks reserve over and above their required reserves in which they can use this to loan out. The excess money that the bank holds can be used to loan out to others to create a profit. 
• Money Multiplier. This refers to how an initial deposit can lead to a bigger final increase in the total money supply.
• Fractional Reserve Banking. This is a system in which only a fraction of bank deposits is backed by actual cash on hand and available for withdrawal. This is done to essentially expand the economy by freeing capital for lending or loaning. 
This video was very straight to the point as it was only a few minutes but held great key factors and example for people to understand without having to replay it over and over.

It states that banks create money artificially every day.  
Banks will advertise to their customers on their percentage interest to attract more customer for higher loan rate. Customers then deposit their money in which they can use that specific money to loan out to other people or banks and add higher interest to circulate or in essential; create money. This is the profits that banks will make.  The more money banks can get a hold of, the more they can loan out which generate money from thin air or artificially.
It is also noted that the video takes about Money supply. For example, Person A deposits money into the bank and person B loans it out and the same situation continues, this creates a money supply where it increases the overall amount of it even though the original amount was from the person A depositing it. This is essentially also creating money from thin air. 
The reason why I choose this video was because it was very pleasing to the viewer based on their animation and how they convey information to the audience. It was very detail and enjoyable to watch as well. ]]> 2021-04-06 14:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1387504202 old1young10 https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1387513854 Within this article shows and states how do banks make money, their profits and who benefits from banks in the end. Generally, when banks make high profit returns, this is a good sign because they can indirectly give back to the community by providing jobs, better interest rates to their customers, donate a portion to charity and can help other banks or the government when a crisis falls. 

Where do banks make their money? Banks generate their income by involving themselves within many lines of business to maximize their profits and to reduce the margin of error for a lost. They can be involved in personal and commercial banking, capital markets, wealth management and insurance etc. This amount of investment in other business helps to result in positive financial results which helps overall economy in Canada. Banks categorize their revenue into two areas based on how it is generated: net interest income and non-interest income: 
Net interest income is created from a “spread.” This spread is simply the difference between the interest a bank earns on loans to customers and the interest paid to depositors and other creditors for the use of their money. 

Non-interest income is the other way banks earn their profits. Banks earn this by providing a variety of services, including trading of securities, assisting companies to issue new equity financing, commissions on securities and wealth management. This income accounts for almost half of the percentage income revenue for banks.
When added together, this forms total revenue. To calculate the bank’s actual profits, several things must be considered such as the fees to maintain the bank, cost of operating their equipment, providing their staff etc. It is also known that taxes must be paid out of the total revenue. 

Who benefits from banks in the end? Canadians do. This is simply because banks provide jobs, donate a considerable amount back and to help level the government with financial situations. With this in mind. We want banks to be profitable so that they can in return, benefit us greatly as well.

One of the statements said is, “A penny saved is a penny lent.” This goes back to the fundamental way banks make money. It essentially means that as every single dollar or cent that goes into the bank can be lent out as a loan in which this creates this cycle, where the bank generates their income and profits more and more in the end. Banks use depositors’ money to make loans. The amount of interest the banks collect on the loans is greater than the amount of interest they pay to customers and the difference is the banks’ profit. This type of transaction is how bank will never make a lost but always a profit because of the higher percentage rate when giving a loan. 
In the next topic that the article discusses, it talks about fees that the banks charges. Another method that banks rakes in big cash is from fees. It talks about account fees, ATM fees, Penalty fees etc. 
Account fees. It is basically a type of fee that banks charges simply to keep your account within their organization or banking firm. It cost the bank money to hold your account but it relatively small fee to them, but they charge higher to gain a profit. Banks can also add in more information to let the customer know that they are not being charged extra, such as maintenance cost etc. 

ATM fees. There will be times where you cannot find your own banking firm ATM in which you have to compensate that for other ATM’s. In this situation, banks can charge a small fee for every transaction that occurs for this. The fee may be as small as $3 per transaction. It may seem like a small amount to a customer but as millions of people are using it, the money adds up a lot. 
Penalty charges. Another way banks can generate extra money is by adding penalty fees on your credit cards that customers fail to pay on time. By simply failing to pay a certain amount monthly, banks can end up charging a ridiculous amount because you failed to pay the minimum requirement. This can range from $10 to even $50. 

Commissions. Most banks will have investment divisions that often function as full-service brokerages. Of course, their commission fees for making trades are higher than most discount brokers.]]> 2021-04-06 14:54:23 UTC https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1387524265 old1young10 https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1387669230 In this imagine, we will be talking about Money Multiplier and the Reserve Ratio.  The Money Multiplier formula refers to how an initial deposit can lead to a bigger final increase in the total money supply. The money multiplier is a key element of the fractional banking system. For Reserve Ratio, it is defined as the percentage of deposits that banks keep in liquid reserves. This means that the bank reserves a certain percentage of the deposits the receive from their customer as physical cash and not digital (online) just for reassurance. 
While I was doing my research, I found out that this formula was one of the foundations for the concept on how banks create money from scratch. It is a key element to understanding banks profits. ]]> 2021-04-06 15:23:05 UTC https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1387669230 old1young10 https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1387710709 The most important thing to pass on with the knowledge I gain during the time I was researching for this topic is the fees that the bank subtly charges you from time to time without you noticing. Many of us have been seeing how banks can charge us with random fees that we do not even understand where it came about. During my time understanding this topic, I wish to pass on this type of knowledge in hopes that I can prevent any excess charges from the bank to save more money. ]]> 2021-04-06 15:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1387710709 old1young10 https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1387714483 This topic is interesting to me because I can have a deeper understanding of how banks work, how to avoid certain unnecessary fees that I may be charged and have an idea if I want to invest into banks using bonds etc. Avoiding certain fees that may be charged to my account can be prevented with the deeper understand I have while I was researching. ]]> 2021-04-06 15:32:06 UTC https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1387714483 old1young10 https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1387717222 One thing that surprises me the most when I was researching my topic on how banks create money was that they create money from thin air, or one could say artificially. I never knew how banks make a profit until I researched on how they did. You essentially deposit just for the bank to loan out majority of your money and in return they used your money to earn a multiplier of it. ]]> 2021-04-06 15:32:40 UTC https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1387717222 old1young10 https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1389075171 In this articles, the author talks about how the bank generate money from deposits & loan. 97% of the money exist in the economy is not actual cash, it is bank deposits.
new money is created when a person get a loan from a bank. and this method help the economy to grow by an average of 11.5%/year over the last 4 decades.
On the contrary, new loans come along with new debts, when the debt burden increase to a certain level, it can trigger financial crisis.]]> 2021-04-06 20:54:50 UTC https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1389075171 old1young10 https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1392701256 The video talk about the origin of the bank and how it works based on calculated risks .Banking systems allow people to expand and grow their business, housing, etc..Turning unused saving funds into funds that society can use is what bank mainly do, but it also make profit from credit card business, exchange currencies, cash management services. Also, it mentions about the negative side if the bank give too much credit to loaners to maximize their profit, causing global financial crisis. The solution for that is credit union, which is far more efficient than traditional in terms of preventing from collapses. 
One thing that is interesting to me is that the word “Bank” is come from the word “Banco” which means in Italian for “bench”, where people usually exchange their coin in 11th century. 
The way they control risk when investing is very smart as they don't put "all the egg on 1 basket", they invest with other people and share the risk, if the project fail they will lose a bit of money but still have many other project succeed.]]> 2021-04-07 17:55:35 UTC https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1392701256 old1young10 https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1392784935  This video mentions about the reserve baking system where the government let the bank can lend out 90% of the money but have to keep 10% in the bank in case the depositor want to get their money back. 
it also illustrate the cycle of economy when a debt is created, the bank go to the fed to give the bank more money to lend out. The cycle repeat several times and based on reserve banking system.
A second way that money can created is through equity, such as when you buy a house in 2018 which cost 500 million dollars. In 2019, it worths 10000.000 dollar without any debt created by you. However, there is actually a long process of creating debts by other people, they lend money from the banks and buy a house and pay interest as morgate.
And gradually, as more and more people buying house near your area, it increases the value of your neighbourhood which eventually makes your house worth from 500k to 1million dollar.]]> 2021-04-07 18:13:15 UTC https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1392784935 old1young10 https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1393167397 In this article, the authors affirm that money comes from  Bank of Canada or chartered banks: Toronto Dominion Bank(TD) and Royal Bank of Canada(RBC). It also mentions that Canadian banking system is one of the strongest & most stable worldwide which manage well after the crisis 2008.
The BOC(Bank of Canada) has important role in maintain the Canada economy, as it responsible for managing funds and monetary policy 
BOC is only institution that can print money in Canada
When bank of Canada create money, the governent can use the funds for education, health, debt or taxes reduction, meanwhile, when chartered bank create money, it mainly goes to banks of shareholders.]]> 2021-04-07 19:50:46 UTC https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1393167397 old1young10 https://padlet.com/old1young10/271onjzdwcuxa9sz/wish/1393316739 Be careful when investing through your bank is what is this picture is about
