Main themes

The course deals with the legal aspects of the life of a bank in its relation with its clients. The credit institution plays an important role in the development of the economical activity through the traffic of substitute money and the granting of credits to private and business. The course will begin with the exam of the conditions to which the exercise of the activity are submitted. Further the course will analyze the relations between the credit institution and its client through: 1) the account and its functioning (deposit of funds, credit transfer, debit or credit card); 2) the various kinds of credit granted by a credit institution to business; 3) the financing of international commercial operations (letter of comfort, guarantee at first demand, credit letter stand-by, documentary credits, clauses of international contracts, syndicated loans…); 4) the liability of the bank in the frame of its relation with clients as a credit provider or as a supplier of investment services.
