Banks offer more commercial services which include: issue of banknotes (promissory notes issued by a banker and payable to bearer on demand); issuing bank drafts and bank cheques; providing documentary and standby letters of credit, guarantees, performance bonds, securities underwriting commitments and other forms of off balance sheet exposures; safekeeping of documents and other items in safe deposit boxes; currency exchange; sale, distribution or brokerage, with or without advice, of insurance, unit trusts and similar financial products as a financial supermarket
