What is the difference between retail banking and investment banking?

Retail banking primarily deals with providing financial services to individual customers and small businesses. This includes services such as savings and checking accounts, personal loans, mortgages, and credit cards. Retail banks focus on serving the general public and aim to meet their day-to-day banking needs. On the other hand, investment banking primarily caters to corporations, institutions, and governments. Investment banks offer services such as underwriting securities, facilitating mergers and acquisitions, providing advisory services for corporate restructuring, and managing assets for high-net-worth individuals and institutions. Unlike retail banking, investment banking is more focused on capital markets activities and complex financial transactions aimed at raising capital or advising clients on strategic financial decisions.
