Abstract

This chapter considers the relationship which banks have with other banks. The discussion revolves around legal impact and legal consequences, in this case of the various types of inter-bank relationships. It shows that in some cases, banks become the customers of other banks. Some of the issues discussed in the chapter lay the foundation for some of the later chapters, notably that on payment and lending. These relationships between banks are primarily contractual in nature; the concept of the network usefully encapsulates the scope of the discussion. The chapter covers correspondent banking, inter-bank markets and contracts, exchange markets and payment systems, and bank syndicates.
