Wholesale Banking involves financial services provided by banks to large institutional clients, such as corporations, governments, and other financial institutions. These services typically include large-scale lending, treasury management, foreign exchange, and capital markets activities. It differs from retail banking, which serves individual consumers and small businesses. Wholesale banking facilitates significant financial transactions and corporate operations.
