international banking

Worldwide monetary services

International banking refers to financial services that cross national borders—banks operating in multiple countries, transactions between institutions in different nations, or services designed for clients with international needs.

The term covers everything from multinational banks with global branch networks to correspondent banking relationships that facilitate cross-border payments.

International banking regulations have tightened since the 2008 financial crisis.
