Using the Bank explains how a pre-computer-era bank serves individuals and small businesses. It follows customers as deposits are recorded and balances verified, savings support loan applications, and checking accounts facilitate payments for merchandise and furnishings. Teller procedures, endorsed checks, bookkeeping, and government-backed security illustrate the bank’s role in managing money and commerce.
