Retail Banking V. Corporate Banking
Retail banking offers the public financial services. This side of the market, also known as business or personal finance, encourages people to handle their money by giving them access to basic banking, credit and financial advisory services.
In this respect, the programs include checks and savings balances, checking and savings accounts, personal loans, mortgages, credit cards and financing for commercial vehicles.

The main difference between commercial and multinational banks is the customer. Small, medium, and big companies that are called institutions rather than entities occupy the world of corporate finance. Commercial banking on the other hand is mostly concerned with persons although, depending upon the circumstances, smaller companies are also involved with retail banking.
The capital involved in industrial and commercial banking is another difference. The vast amount of loans given to some major companies in the UAE. Corporate bankers are dealing with large amounts of capital. Commercial lending works on the ordinary borrower and as such, in contrast to corporate banking, the volume of capital loaned, saved and spent is lower.
