Study Notes

Banking Operations: Cash Deposits and Current Accounts

A cash deposit is a contractual agreement between a bank and a client, where the client deposits their money with the bank.
In a cash deposit, the bank acts as an intermediary, only paying the seller when the seller provides documentation proving that the conditions of the contract are met.

Prevention of Anticompetitive Practices

The aim of competition laws is to prevent monopolistic and anticompetitive practices.
Monopolistic practices can lead to high prices for consumers, as they have limited choices.
An example of anticompetitive practice is when two or more companies collude to increase prices, such as two T-shirt producers agreeing to raise prices together to maximize profits.
