Bank offers many services to business and their customers. Here are some of the most common:
Many people now have a card which enables them to 1. withdraw money from a 2. cash dispenser. You feed your card into the machine and key in your PIN (personal identification number) and the amount of money you want. If you have enough in your account, the money requested will be 3.issued up to a daily limit. Your account is automatically 4. debited for the amount you have drawn out.
Provided you have a sound 5.credit rating,you can get a credit card from a bank and other      6. financial institution. To obtain goods or services, you present your card and sign a special voucher. When it receives the voucher, the credit card company pays the trader (less a             7. commission) and then send you a monthly 8. slip. Depending on the type of card you have, you will either have to pay 9. in full or be able to pay part of what is owed and pay 10. interest in the balance left 11. statement.
 If you need to make fixed payments at regular intervals, e.g. for insurance premiums, you can arrange a 12. credit transfer (sometimes known as a banker’s order) so that the bank will do this for you.
If you have several bills to pay, you can do this by 13. standing order . You write one cheque for the total sum involved, fill in a 14. Outstanding  for each bill and hand everything to the bank cashier.
The transfer system is also used by employers to pay 15. salaries directly into employees’ bank accounts.
If you are dealing with a supplier for the first time, a  16. banker’s draft may be used as payment. This is a cheque guaranteed by a bank and therefore it is not likely to ‘bounce’.
