Commercial Banks Knowledge Base
Besides most commercial banks where can I go to exchange foreign currency? Besides most commercial banks where can I go to exchange foreign currency? I traveled to Niagara Falls, Canada in 2005. On the way out of the country I had an impaitent bus driver who would not allow me to stop off at the Duty Free shop to exchange the currency. So I came home with just under $20 in Canadian Currency. I've held onto this money since last year. Every commercial bank I've called require you to be a customer. My credit union doesn't accept foreign currency for deposits. So I feel like I'm stuck with this money I can't use. If I knew someone going to Canada perhaps I could offer to "sell" it to them but in lieu of that I don't what to do with this money.

Why are commercial banks buying out or merging with Investment banks now? ? I mean I hear about all the financial crises going on but I'm not understanding it totally. I believe some of these investment firms are going belly up due to some bad debt resulting from mortgage payments or people who were not able to pay their part? I thought most of these mortgage payments from commercial or resident loans for home or business were taken from banks and not the investment banks? Why are the commercial banks in the position to purchase these companies? How will it benefit them? Please do explain if you can. Thank you!
Are you for the increase of required reserves for commercial banks? My Econ teacher told us that by the time I graduate college (2015) the reserve requirement will be .12 rather than .10, do you believe that's going to happen? Why would banks increase it anyway, would that just be a precautionary mechanism? But from what we've learned of monetary policy doesn't increasing RR lead to a decrease of excess reserves which will increase the interest rate, decrease gross private investment, thus lowering RGDP? Thanks in advance.

Commercial Banks are now paying about one percent or less on Savings Accounts. That is the lowest payout rate? that I can ever remember in my lifetime. This really hurts seniors who rely on interest for some of their income. Isn't this a kind of gouging by the big banks? I realize that interest rates are low right now but you still have to pay about 7 or 8 percent for a home loan depending upon your credit worthiness. Isn't the spread between what interest the Banks payout and what interest they take in ridiculously large? Aren't the big Banks taking advantage of the situation?
