In 1967, the term disintermediation was first brought into the banking industry and later became a popular term used in commerce generally in the 90s. Economics or financial policies are some of the factors leading to the phenomenon known as disintermediation which banks sometimes face. Bank disintermediation is a situation whereby funds which should ordinarily be invested in banks are directed into some other investment instruments such as assets backed securities and convertibles, which will be issued by the final user of the funds, in the process passing the banks as an intermediary. Normally, banks usually act as a financial intermediary for debt management, borrowing from depositors and lending to borrowers. This is done using instruments such as bonds, safety deposit accounts which earns interest, savers, and other credit facilities.
THE REASONS THAT CAUSED BANK DISINTERMEDIATION.
Bank disintermediation could be caused by a couple of reasons with one of which could be securitization. Securitization is the process whereby illiquid assets are turned to liquid assets and convertibles. This conversion allows the assets to sell in the capital markets. It can be applied to short term financing, where bank loans have been transformed into tradable assets and commercial paper are used as substitutes. Public Deficits is a major source of bank disintermediation in most parts of the world; this is because of the increase in healthcare service, education, real estate, recruitment and social security payments. The deficits are financed mainly by the issue of marketable securities, which is done by both the central and local governments. Securitization initiated an abundant increase in the issuance of securities both traditional and n...

Shadow banks are at the center of the global market- based financial intermediation system, conducting maturity, liquidity, and credit transformation without explicit public sector guarantees or liquidity access18. A commonly overlooked fact is that a majority of non bank financial intermediation predate the financial crisis by decades and leading off of that, many of the largest shadow banking institutions are established ones with close knit ties to the traditional banking system.

Encouragingly Jordan’s banking sector managed to weather the crisis better than other sector of the economy, and other banking sector in different countries. This was mainly supported by rather conservative policies and tight regulations. For instance banks in this country are pure universal. This implies there is no pure investment bank that relies entirely on investment income, a factor that majo...
Before defining the term securitization we need to distinguish between the securitization and the disintermediation terms. Gardener and Revell (1988) stated that they have huge zone of intersection whereas each is on a diverse phenomenon. Disintermediation is the opposite of direct funding where the facilities of an intermediary are given up and the borrowers and investors transact directly with each other. The connection between both terms appears when the direct funding is undertaken in terms of tradable securities. One notable characteristic of securitization is the excessive rise in the issuance of the entire types of securities, the traditional and the novel ones. For distinction, what falls under the term securitization rather than disintermediation, for instance, is loan debt that is traded from an institute to another and known as an asset-backed funding. It is important to note that there are numerous diverse securities markets where the technique of securitization has helped to introduce novel securities and markets, satisfying the missing kinds; or as called filling the gaps. Generally, the impact of securitization is to segregate severe credit risk into credit risk that is devoted to numerous notes to be passed to a purchaser. However, commonly, the bank is left with a sort of obligation (Gardener and Revell, 1988).
In order to understand the concept of financialization and the housing market on the global and local level, one must know that there is a global pool of money that is simply the worlds savings bank. In 2000 the pool had $36 trillion and has since doubled in size (Blumberg 2008). Its most recent profit increase was a result of developing countries and cities such as India, Abu Dhabi, and China making money. This doubled the cash pool available for investments, but left fewer solid investments for the taking. The solution was residential mortgages and the US housing market. The investment managers thought the low-risk high-return investment in the housing market was a good, stable idea. The glo...
This system helps all of these banks provide financial secrecy which is that only you and your banker would legally be allowed to know the financial activity within your account. The financial secrecy, completely different from financial privacy, includes many regulations to maintain this asset of secrecy. For example, many banks would n...
Disintermediation refers to: (1) the investing of funds that would normally have been placed in a bank or other financial institution (financial intermediaries) directly into investment instruments issued by the ultimate users of the funds. Investors and borrowers transact business directly and thereby bypass banks or other financial intermediaries. (2) The elimination of intermediaries between the first case providers of capital and the ultimate users of capital, withdrawal of funds from financial intermediaries such as banks, thrifts, and life insurance companies in order to invest directly with ultimate users.

Financial institutions, otherwise known as financial intermediaries, are establishments that conduct a variety of financial services to their customers, being individuals, businesses and/or governments. The main role of financial institutions in the financial system is to act as the intermediary between borrows and savers to channel funds from savers to borrowers. Broadly speaking, there are two types of financial institutions; depository institutions and non-dep...
The bank failure in Jamaica illustrates how negative mindsets and behaviors can devastate the financial system and disrupt economic growth. The primary role of any bank is to safeguard its customer’s money, offer interest rate on deposits, lend money to creditworthy individuals, and make sound investment decisions to maximize shareholder value. Because of rapid economic growth between the late 1980s and early 1990s in Jamaica, the Central National Bank (CNB) and Worker’s Savings and Loans Bank (WSLB) loosened their monetary policies, provided preferential interest rates and extended credit beyond what was reasonable to members of its own board of directors, managing directors, and officers of the bank. These actions posed significant risks to the bank and its future.
