Dictionary And Language Of Banking

Simple, concise, and up-to-date, the International Dictionary of Banking and Finance lists thousands of key words, terms, acronyms, and proper names that bankers, financial managers, students, and business teachers use every day. Arranged in alphabetical order, the terms are precisely defined--so that readers may comprehend the meanings in terms of daily business activities or study. Designed with the student as well as the executive in mind, the Dictionary includes terms and concepts from around the world, and it cross-references related terms to provide insight and clarification. Subjects covered include: investments; finance; commercial and mortgage banking; exporting; business structure; and a host of other broad business categories.

The Language of Banking includes nearly 850 everyday words, phrases, and laws used in the world of finance. Each entry provides an easy-to-understand definition and, when appropriate, a brief background on the phrase or statute. Charts are given to explain such items as annual percentage rate and ability to pay.

Everyone needs to understand the terms used in banking to be able to evaluate banking services, offerings, and transactions in critical ways. The need to do so is underscored by the fact that some of the words and phrases may have gain or loss implication in particular banking situations, transactions, or relationships. Besides, with a sound understanding of banking words and phrases, people will be in a position to objectively assess claims in financial services which banks package, offer, or deliver to them. Such understanding could also be one of the ways to achieve mutually beneficial relationships to which the banks and their customers aspire. On the other hand, practising bankers must understand words and phrases that are used in relation to or while processing financial services, transactions, requests, or in managing banking relationships. The dictionary is comprehensive enough to serve as an effective handbook for them and fulfil their professional banking reference needs. However, it's also relevant to everyone who has anything to do with banking, banks, or banking relationship. Yet, it will be of immense value to students, especially those in institutions of higher learning. The greatest appeal of this dictionary is in simple definition and presentation of entries. Its users will also find that entries in the dictionary cover a broad range of clearly defined words and phrases that constitute the banking vocabulary – from the academic to the practical, and from the formal to the colloquial. There are also practical example sentences which further illustrate meanings of the entries. Most of the entries are largely peculiar to banking in Africa. Many of the words and phrases especially reflect the conventional and emerging language of banking in West Africa. These attributes make the dictionary more adaptable to the African environment and banking purposes. Thus, “Dictionary and language of banking” offers specific benefits, summarized below.

Hardbound. This is the third revised edition of a dictionary which was first published thirty years ago. A second edition was published in 1980 in an effort to keep up with the revolution which was then taking place in the field of economics. In that edition almost 50 entries were deleted from the original version and more than 600 new terms were included.Since that time there have been even more developments in the banking and financial world so creating the need for this third revised edition. Portuguese has been added to the dictionary as this language now plays a very important role in the banking business community. This updated version will be of considerable help to banks and financial companies all over the world.

Banking practitioners and other individuals must understand words and phrases that are used in relation to or while processing financial services, transactions, requests, or in managing banking relationships. Indeed, everyone needs to understand the terms used in banking to be able to evaluate banking services, offerings, and transactions in critical ways. The need to do so is underscored by the fact that some of the words and phrases may have gain or loss implication in particular banking situations, transactions, or relationships. Besides, with sound understanding of banking words and phrases, people will be in a position to objectively assess claims in financial services which banks package, offer, or deliver to them. Such understanding could be one of the ways to achieve mutually beneficial relationships to which banks and their customers aspire. There is a tendency among authors to present words and phrases relating to finance, investment, money and banking in one dictionary text. That approach would be expedient, especially for reference purposes, if it provides a comprehensive coverage of words and phrases used in all of those fields. In this dictionary, I focused largely on banking words and phrases. Doing so, my expectation is that the dictionary should be comprehensive enough to serve as an effective handbook for practising bankers and fulfil their professional banking reference needs. However, in putting together the dictionary, I ensured that it should also be relevant to everyone who has anything to do with banking, banks, or banking relationship. Yet, it will be of immense value to students, especially those in institutions of higher learning. Perhaps the greatest appeal of this dictionary is in simple definition and presentation of entries. Its users will also find that entries in the dictionary cover a broad range of clearly defined words and phrases that constitute the banking vocabulary - from the academic to the practical, and from the formal to the colloquial. There are also practical example sentences which further illustrate meanings of the entries. I need mention at once that most of the entries are largely peculiar to banking in developing economies. Many of the words and phrases especially reflect the conventional and emerging language of banking in Africa. These attributes make A New Basic Dictionary of Banking more adaptable to banking purposes in developing countries.
