A non-bank financial institution (NBFI) is a financial institution that does not have a full banking license or is not supervised by a national or international banking regulatory agency. NBFIs facilitate bank-related financial services, such as investment, risk pooling, contractual savings, and market brokering. Examples of these include insurance firms, pawn shops, cashier’s check issuers, check cashing locations, payday lending, currency exchanges, and microloan organizations.Non-Bank Financial Institutions:A Study of Five Sectors Alan Greenspan has identified the role of NBFIs in strengthening an economy, as they provide “multiple alternatives to transform an economy’s savings into capital investment [which] act as backup facilities should the primary form of intermediation fail.”FRB: Speech, Greenspan – Do efficient financial markets mitigate crises? – October 19, 1999
