Abstract: Abstract The Consolidated Banking Act (Legislative Decree no. 385 of 1 September 1993, hereinafter also referred to as the TUB) defines a bank as an “undertaking authorized to engage in banking”. Banking consists of fund-raising on a public basis and the granting of credit (TUB 10, para. 1). In addition to banking, banks may also engage in any other financial business, in accordance with the provisions applicable to each activity, as well as related and instrumental activities (TUB 10, para. 3).1
