WHAT ARE NON-BANKING FINANCIAL INSTITUTION (NBFC)

Financial institutions that provide a range of banking services without a banking licence are referred to as nonbank financial businesses (NBFCs), often known as nonbank financial institutions (NBFIs). Typically, the public’s readily accessible monies, including those in checking or savings accounts, cannot be accepted as demand deposits by these organisations. This restriction keeps them out of the purview of traditional federal and state financial regulator scrutiny.

Nonbank Financial Companies are deemed to be “predominantly engaged in a financial activity” by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act when more than 85% of their consolidated annual gross revenues or consolidated assets are of a financial nature. Investment banks, mortgage lenders, money market funds, insurance firms, hedge funds, private equity funds,and peer-to-peer lenders are a few examples of NBFCs.
