TALKING ABOUT BANKS
– Mr. Carter, we’ve seen quite a few changes in the Bank Rate in recent years. How do you account for this?
– That’s a very wide question. Inflation has clearly played its part, but one must also take into consideration the shift in the structure of overseas investment, and the chronic deficit of payments balance that has constantly worried our ministers of finance for many years.
– What do you think, can a rise in the Bank Rate have the affect of
attracting foreign capital into the country?
- Oh, yes. When the Bank Rate rises, the general level of interest rates goes up too, and investors and speculators abroad who want the highest possible yield on their money may find the pound sterling more attractive than formerly.
– What other effects can a rise in the level of interest rates have?
– Well, if you happen to be paying off a mortgage on a house, you’re not going to welcome it, are you? Raised interest rates should encourage saving, of course, but investment involving borrowing will on the other hand tend to slow down.
– To come close to the commercial bank’s day-to-day activities, what securities apart from cash does a modern bank rely on?
– It’s often said that the bill of exchange is the banker’s first line of defence. Then, the most liquid of the bank’s investments are their holdings of gift-edged securities. What about loans and overdrafts for industrial and commercial concerns?
– Since these are less liquid, banks prefer their advances to be on a short term or medium term basis, with a definite agreement regarding dates of repayment.
– Could you say a few words about overseas payments? What is the form of settlement?
– There is a number of facilities offered by banks. There is the banker’s draft, and the rather safer transfers – the mail transfer, the cable transfer and the telex transfer. These have to a larger extent superseded the bill of exchange.
– And how does a British exporter receive payment for the goods he delivers abroad?
– Well, let’s start with the open account method, which is often used in the USA and South America. Then there are the documents for collection system – this gives the exporter a much greater degree of security. The arrangement here may be documents against acceptance. Another one used to a considerable extent is called cash against documents. The other important method I should like to mention is the system of credits.
– Thank you, Mr. Carter. Your explanations about money matters have been very informative.

When I get into a bank I get frightened. The clerks frighten me; the desks frighten me; everything frightens me. The moment I pass through the doors of a bank and attempt to do business there, I become a fool. I knew this before, but my salary had been raised to fifty dollars a month and I felt that the bank was the only place for it
So I walked in and looked round at the clerks with fear. I had an idea that a person who was about to1 open an account must necessarily consult the manager. I went up to a place marked «Accountant»2. The accountant was a tall cool man. He frightened me.
«Can I see the manager?» I said, and added, «alone». I don’t know why I said «alone». «Certainly», said the accountant, and brought him. The manager was a calm, serious man.
«Are you the manager?» I said. God knows I didn’t doubt it.
«Yes», he said.
«Can I see you», I asked, «alone». I didn’t want to say «alone» again, but without this word the question seemed useless. The manager looked at me with some anxiety. He felt that I had a terrible secret to tell. «Come in here», he said, and led the way to a private room. He turned the key in the lock.
«We can talk here», he said, «sit down».
We both sat down and looked at each other. I found no voice to speak.
«You are one of Pinkerton’s detectives, I suppose», he said. My mysterious manner had made him think that I was a detective. I knew what he thought, and it made me feel worse.
«No, not from Pinkerton’s», I said, seeming to mean that I was from another agency.
«To tell the truth», I went on, «I am not a detective at all. I have come to open an account3. I’d like to keep all my money in this bank».
The manager looked relieved but still serious; he felt sure now that I was a very rich man, perhaps a son of a Baron Rothschild.
«A large account, I suppose», he said.
«Fairly large», I whispered. «I intend to place in this bank the sum of fifty-six dollars now and fifty dollars a month regularly».
The manager got up and opened the door. He called to the accountant.
«Mr. Montgomery», he said, unkindly loud, «this gentleman is opening an account. He will place fifty-six dollar in it. Good morning».
I stood up. A big iron door stood open at the side of the room.
«Good morning», I said and walked into the safe.
«Come out», said the manager coldly, and showed me the other way. I went up to the accountant’s position and pushed the ball of money at him with a quick, sudden movement as if I were doing a sort of a trick. My face was terribly pale.
«Here», I said, «put it in my account».
He took the money and gave it to another clerk. He made me write the sum on a bit of paper and sign my name in a book. I no longer knew what I was doing. The bank seemed to swim before my eyes.
«Is it in the account?» I asked in a shaking voice.
«It is», said the accountant.
«Then I want to draw a cheque»6.
My idea was to draw out of7 it six dollars for the present use. Someone gave me a cheque-book8 and someone else told e how to write it out. I wrote something on the cheque and pushed it oward the clerk. He looked at it.
«What! Are you drawing it all out again?» he asked in surprise. Then I realized that I had written fifty-six dollars instead of six. I had a feeling that it was impossible to explain the thing. All the clerks had stopped writing to look at me. Then I made a decision.
«Yes, the whole thing».
«You wish to draw your money out of the bank?»
«Every cent of it».
«Are you not going to put any more in the account?» said the clerk.
«Never».
The clerk prepared to pay the money.
«How will you have it?»
I answered without even trying to think, «In fifty-dollar notes».
He gave me a fifty-dollar note.
«And the six?» he asked coldly.
«In six-dollar notes», I said.
He gave me six dollars and I rushed out.
As the big door closed behind me I heard the sound of laughter that went up to the roof of the bank. Since then I use a bank no more. I keep my money and my savings10 in silver dollars in a sock.
