ACHARTEERRED bank is an institution where the details of your bank account are kept secret. It is called "chartered" because its permission to do business and the conditions and restrictions under which it may do business, are contained in a charier granted and kept up-to-date by parliament, the finest democratic free institution of government that man has yet devised. This charter is an Act of Parliament laying down all of the conditions which safeguard your money. Ten competing chartered banks are the very opposite of a State Monopoly such as would come about if all the bank§ were rolled into one by nation- alization.
