In the United States, savings and loan associations have become commonplace, which are involved in the accumulation of savings of the population and long-term lending to purchases and construction of residential buildings. For the first time, they appeared in 1831 on the model of English building societies, in 1890 they operated in all states. They are cooperatives or have the status of a company, operating within a radius of 100 miles.

In the early stages of development, they were engaged in the accumulation of savings of the poor. But gradually the range of their operations expanded. They became, in fact, universal banks, performing the functions of commercial banks. This led to increased competition of savings banks with other credit institutions for the funds of the population as a source of capital. Currently, the scope of operations of savings banks is quite wide. It includes deposit, credit, investment, currency, and other operations. There are banks with a wide clientele, both with private investors, and with commercial and industrial companies, banks, other lending institutions, and the state.
