[1] A BANK IS A BUSINESS!
Banking is a business; as such, its aim is to make a profit. How? By making LOANS for which it charges an interest rate.  LOANS => INTEREST RATE = > PROFIT

[2] WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
The money that is lent out at interest comes (mostly) from the capital of the owners and from DEPOSITS.

[3] NET INTEREST MARGIN
Net interest margin, also sometimes referred to as the net yield on interest-earning assets, is usually defined as net interest income, divided by interest-earning assets. The margin is calculated for a period of time, a quarter or a year, and is expressed as a percentage.

NIM = NET INTEREST INCOME  /  INTEREST-EARNING ASSETS

Where:

NET INTEREST INCOME = INTEREST EARNED ON ASSET  LESS INTEREST PAID ON DEPOSITS (AND OTHER SOURCES OF FUNDING)

Residential real estate loans. A mortgage loan is a loan secured by real property. A home buyer can obtain financing (a loan) either to purchase or secure against the property from a financial institution, such as a bank. Features of mortgage loans such as the size of the loan, maturity of the loan, interest rate, method of paying off the loan, can vary considerably.

Commercial real estate loans are available on all types of income producing and commercial properties, including: Shopping centers; Motels and apartments; Office buildings; Automobile dealerships; Health care facilities; Manufacturing facilities and more. Commercial real estate loans can also be used to refinance existing debt. There are typically two main types of loans including short term and long term. The short term loans consist of bridge loans that are used to keep the business running until larger and more long term loans can be obtained. The larger loans are for larger amounts and typically last for the life of the commercial real estate property. Commercial real estate loans are important for the growth and expansion of companies.

[EXERCISE: LOOK AT LIABILITIES OF DIFFERENT SORTS]

Liabilities @ Erste Bank (www.erstebank.com)

. Deposits by corporations: €21.7  billion [see].

. Customer deposits: €121.6  billion [see].

. Debt securities in issue: €34.6  billion [see].

Web page devoted to debt investors [see]. The growing international activity of Erste Bank led it to develop alternative sources to the classic primary funding through customer deposits. The bank employs a wide range of funding sources and programmes to meet the funding requirements of the Group, its subsidiaries and the Austrian savings banks. The bank is active in Austria and internationally as a private placement issuer as well as making public issues in varying currencies, maturities and structures. Senior bonds are the biggest segment. They made more than a half of total outstanding debts. (Definition of senior bonds: In case of bankruptcy, there is a hierarchy of creditors. First the liquidator is paid, then government taxes, etc. The first bond holders in line to be paid are those holding what is called senior bonds. After they have been paid, the subordinated bond holders are paid. As a result, the risk is higher. Therefore, subordinated bonds usually have a lower credit rating than senior bonds).

[QUESTION: WHY WOULD A BANK DEVOTE A WEBPAGE TO INFORM ON ITS DEBT?]
