****************************************** Jsst A little History Lesson:::: ******************************************

In the United States The term "financial services
" Financial Services became more prevalent in the United States partly as a result of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of the late 1990s, which enabled different types of companies operating in the U.S. financial services industry at that time to merge.
[2] Companies usually have two distinct approaches to this new type of business.
One approach would be a bank which simply buys an insurance company or an investment bank, keeps the original brands of the acquired firm, and adds the acquisition to its holding company simply to diversify its earnings.
Outside the U.S. (e.g., in Japan ), non-financial services companies are permitted within the holding company.
In this scenario, each company still looks independent, and has its own customers, etc. In the other style, a bank would simply create its own brokerage division or insurance division and attempt to sell those products to its own existing customers, with incentives for combining all things with one company Recon Financial Networks International

Financial services refer to services provided by the finance industry. The finance industry encompasses a broad range of organizations that deal with the management of money.
Among these organizations are credit unions, banks, credit card companies, insurance companies, consumer finance companies, stock brokerages, investment funds and some government sponsored enterprises.
As of 2010, the financial services industry represented 20% of the market capitalization of the S&P 500 in the United States.
