Banks have come a long way from the temples of the ancient world, but their basic business practices have not changed. Banks issue credit to people who need it, but demand interest on top of the repayment of the loan. Although history has altered the fine points of the business model, a bank’s purpose is to make loans and protect depositors’ money. Even if the future takes banks completely off your street corner and onto the internet, or has you shopping for loans across the globe, the banks will still exist to perform this primary function. First National Bank has tapped into this industry movement by offering a diverse range of products and services. One product in question is the Smart Save Account.
