Hi

The financial services industry includes firms that deal with the management, investment, transfer, and lending of money. Though every company handles money in the course of doing business, financial institutions actually make money their business; rather than selling a line of physical products, they offer customers their fiscal expertise. The industry itself is very large, encompassing everything from small, local banks to the multinational investment banks regularly featured in news headlines.

Thanks
